Abstract

On April 6th, 2009, a Mw 6.3 earthquake rocked the town of L’Aquila (Central Italy) and surroundings, inducing a noteworthy number of effects on the environment. Earthquakes with Mw between 6 and 6.5 are of relevant interest in the Mediterranean Region because of their frequency and their consequences in this densely populated area. The L’Aquila event is representative of the geological effects to be expected: ca. 200 effects on the environment have been recognized, allowing us to estimate an epicentral Intensity IX, by applying the ESI 2007 scale. The post seismic evolution of some ground fractures is under monitoring, in particular along the reactivated Paganica fault.
