    Earthquakes in Central Italy in 2016: Comparison between Norcia and Amatrice (2019)
    The European Association for Earthquake Engineering
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-23
    Description: In this paper lessons are extracted from the comparison between the very different consequences that a set of earthquakes had on the neighbouring towns of Amatrice and Norcia during the 2016 central Italy earthquake sequence. The paper initially describes the prevention programs implemented in Amatrice and Norcia starting from the reconstruction after the 1860 Norcia earthquake. The earthquake intensities in Amatrice and Norcia during the 2016 Central Italy events were considering accelerometric recordings of the Italian Strong Motion Network. In the same municipalities, the damage has been assessed through site visits and analysis of the results of the post-earthquake safety assessment performed after the events. It was found that the differences in damage were essentially due to the strengthening of most houses in Norcia done during the previous decades. This is also likely to lead to a much faster recover of the economy and livelihood in Norcia, as Amatrice needs to be entirely rebuilt.

    Towards a practical guide in nonstructural risk reduction: A tool for the KnowRISK countries (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-23
    Description: Nonstructural buildings damages are often considered second order priority issues when modelling an earthquake scenario. While this is reasonable in major earthquakes, where structural damages mask nonstructural failures, it is not such when dealing with moderate earthquakes where, often, the nonstructural damages exceeds losses from structural damages. Nonstructural damages may in fact cause a reduction in the performance of the affected building, which becomes critical in facilities of social relevance like hospitals, schools or fire stations. Moreover, the failure of nonstructural building components can become a safety hazard or can hamper the safe movement of occupants evacuating or of rescue workers entering building. Thus, it is critical to raise in the citizens the awareness of potential nonstructural risks, the costly consequences of nonstructural failures, and the opportunities that exist to limit future losses.The action E1 of the Know Risk project aims at compiling a guide on how to reduce risks from non-structural components failure to be both handed as a printed version and made available on the internet.

    Prepara la Tua Casa al Terremoto (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-23
    Description: KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) is a project co-financed by the European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection under the Prevention and Preparedness call 2015, that focused on communicating preventative solutions to mitigate damage caused on Non-Structural Elements (NSE, the non loading part of buildings) during earthquakes. Although responsible for a large part of the damage occurring during moderate magnitude earthquakes, which are very frequent, prevention on such elements is often underestimated. This leaflet is Practical Guide intended to support communities. Four steps are coded in the Guides to assist people into a process of increasing safety, efforts and eventually cost: Move, referring to actions that just require rearranging furniture; Protect, referring to valuable fragile or expensive object; Secure, referring to large and heavy items that pose serious danger when loose; Retrofit, referring to those actions that are more intrusive and need an expert intervention. The Guide provides indication to implement, where possible, DoItYourself actions.

    How to survive earthquakes: the example of Norcia (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-07-14
    Description: In this paper lessons are extracted from the comparison between the very different consequences that similar earthquakes had on the neighbouring towns of Norcia and Amatrice during the 2016 seismic crisis of central Italy. It was found that the differences in damage were essentially due to the strengthening of most houses in Norcia done during the previous decades. This is also likely to lead to a much faster recover of the economy and livelihood in Norcia, as Amatrice needs to be entirely rebuilt.

    Participatory Approach to Natural Hazard Education for Hydrological Risk Reduction (2019)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-11-26
    Description: Modern Society needs interactive public discussion to provide an effective way of focusing on hydrological hazards and their consequences. Embracing a holistic Earth system Science approach, we experiment since 2004 different stimulating educational/communicative model which emotionally involves the participants to raise awareness on the social dimension of the disaster hydrogeological risk reduction, pointing out that human behavior is the crucial factor in the degree of vulnerability and the likelihood of disasters taking place. The implementation of strategies for risk mitigation must include educational aspects, as well as economical and societal ones. Education is the bridge between knowledge and understanding and the key to raise risk perception. Children’s involvement might trigger a chain reaction that reinforce and spread the culture of risk. No matter how heavy was the rain that hit our land in the past and recent seasons, we still are not prepared. If on one hand we need to fight against worsening Global Warming that trigger extreme meteorological events, we should also work on sustainable land use and promote landscape preservation. Since science can work on improving knowledge of phenomena, technology can provide modern tool to reduce the impact of disasters, children and adults education is the flywheel to provide the change. We present here two cases selected among the wide range of educational activities that we have tested and to which more than 2,000 students and adults have participated within a period of 12 years. They include learn-by-playing, hands-on, emotional-learning activities, open questions seminars, learning paths, curiosity-driven approaches, special venues and science outreach.

    Students, earthquakes, media: Does a seismic crisis make a difference? (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-02
    Description: How do students use the big data flow of information from the Internet? What is their opinion and trust in scientists? To what extent catastrophic earthquakes and environmental disasters influence their opinion? In this study we present the results of a poll conducted on high school students (age 13-20) to assess young Italian citizens’ trust on geoscientists and their science. The sample of about 700 students refers to areas prone to natural hazards ranging from low to moderate intensity. To allow a fast and easy compilation, held directly in school, the poll included only a very few questions. They investigated and accessed the source where the students retrieve information on catastrophes and natural phenomena, the role of scientists in everyday life and scientists’ ethical integrity. Although limited, this is the first poll of this kind and data collected up to now can be used for a rough picture of the present situation, to compare results with recent disasters and to project future results of on-going analysis. All information will also help us in a future analysis to understand if and to what extent a recent earthquake or environmental local crisis can affect the perception. Students do not completely trust that scientists are genuinely independent from outer urges. They also believe that media manipulate information with willful misconduct, to hide inconvenient realities or to get economic advantages. However answers from our Emilia sample of students were unexpected: they did not show any specific bias after the 2012 seismic sequence. Conversely they show less skepticism towards scientists and scientific integrity in comparison to students from other regions. This suggests that the perception towards science and scientists might be driven by cultural and social background and not necessarily affected by recent seismic crisis. In this perspective this on-going study will be challenged as soon as poll after the Amatrice 2016 seismic sequence will be available.

    KnowRISK on Seismic Risk Communication: the set-up of a participatory strategy (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-21
    Description: KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) is a European project that addresses prevention measures to reduce non-structural damage caused by earthquakes. It is built on risk communication and takes action on pilot areas of the three participating countries: Portugal, Iceland, and Italy. The setting up of risk communication strategies in the project stands on the understanding local communities fragility, on their direct engagement, and on a holistic approach to vulnerability. The level of relevance of seismic compared to other hazards, the understanding, the memory of past disasters are indicators that affect the way a risk is perceived and preventive measures are taken. Similarly, the level of education, wealth, exposure to other, social, risks are aggravation parameters in risk computation to be accounted for when we communicate risk. Strategies for risk communication in KnowRISK rely on schools and citizen’s engagement, citizen’s science activities, tools for raising awareness.

    The participatory risk communication action of the KnowRISK project: case study in Italy (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-19
    Description: "Know your school: be safe!" is a risk communication campaign, within the KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) project, involving schools in three European countries, namely Portugal, Italy and Iceland. Its main aim is to facilitate school communities’ access to expert knowledge on non-structural seismic risk reduction. In Italy we implemented a learning strategy to capture young people attention. We believe students will be influential in turning scientific knowledge to practical know-how. The strategy is based on Situated Learning Episode (EAS), where homework is for learning and skills, and classwork is for reworking and understanding. The KnowRISK-EAS starts and ends with two focus groups where students, and experts rework concepts and discuss best practices. Students are asked to implement a communication product addressing their peers. The assignment has a double goal: it helps to activate reflexive learning; it will be a project tool to trigger risk reduction attitude within schools communities.

    Awareness on Seismic Risk: How can Augmented Reality help? (2019)
    Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-01-21
    Description: To communicate the importance of knowing the risk of non-structural damage caused by earthquakes, we developed applications based on Augmented Reality (AR) features. These applications run on mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, by using their video camera and other on-board sensors, such as GPS, accelerometer, and gyrocompass, from which AR users do take advantage. Combined with a specifically designed exhibit, our AR applications can contribute to increase the common awareness on seismic risk, providing useful information on how to have safer homes in case of an earthquake. Building codes do not take into account non-structural elements, leaving communities at risk of injuries, blocking escapes and even causing deaths. In this framework, the personal preparedness is of paramount importance. The development of our AR applications is supported by the European project KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements).
