Abstract
We present here the first application of the fast reacting framework for 3D simulations of seismic wave propagation generated by earthquakes in the Italian region with magnitude Mw 5. The driven motivation is to offer a visualization of the natural phenomenon to the general public but also to provide preliminary modeling to expert and civil protection operators. We report here a description of this framework during the emergency of 24 August 2016 Mw 6.0 central Italy Earthquake, a discussion on the accuracy of the simulation for this seismic event and a preliminary critical analysis of the visualization structure and of the reaction of the public.
Highlights
Shakemovies are a visualization of seismic wave propagation resulting by numerical simulations
The 24 August 2016 Mw 6.0 central Italy earthquake has been the first application of a near automatic framework that we have implemented for earthquakes occurring in Italy with magnitude Mw ≥ 5
The driven motivation is to provide a visualization of the natural phenomenon to the general public
Summary
Shakemovies are a visualization of seismic wave propagation resulting by numerical simulations. Caltech.edu), the concept has been extended by [Tromp et al, 2010] with the creation of Global Shakemovie Portal Shakemovie.princeton.edu that, provides seismologists with near realtime 1D and 3D synthetic seismograms for recent earthquakes. For the 2009 Mw 6.1 L’Aquila event, the 2012 Pianura Padana sequence and the 2013 Mw 5.1 Lunigiana earthquake we have released shakemovie animations that have been received by the public with surprising high view rate. The 24 August 2016 Mw 6.0 central Italy earthquake has been the first application of a near automatic framework that we have implemented for earthquakes occurring in Italy with magnitude Mw ≥ 5. From the experiences cited above, we have distributed our shakemovie animations through the INGVterremoti Youtube Channel, as a replacement of a dedicated portal
