  1. INGV ShakeMaps for the l’Aquila earthquake Alberto Michelini, Licia Faenza & Valentino Lauciani INGV, Centro Nazionale Terremoti

  2. Talk structure • ShakeMap at INGV • How it went…. • How it can go…. • How close are we really ?

  3. ShakeMap at INGV(Michelini et al., 2008) • Publishing maps for M3.0 since 2006 http://earthquake.rm.ingv.it/shakemap/shake/archive • Maps are generated from • Manually revised location and magnitude for map generation (available within 30’) • automatic EarthWorm location and magnitude (currently suspended) • Publication of M>4.5 requires “nulla hosta” from Italian Civil Protection (changed policy after ~10 days in the sequence)

  4. Ground Motion Predictive Relationships Regionalizationof the attenuation relations for M <5.5 events (Malagnini et al.). For M ≥ 5.5 events the relations of Akkar and Bommer 2007 are used. Colors in PGA and PGV match the zones.

  5. Site Corrections • Site Condition Map: based on geology and shear wave velocity in the top 30 meters. The geology units have been gathered into five classes, according to the EuroCode8 provision. For the classification, lithological and age criteria has been used.

  6. How it went… • Automatic Location: (03:37 local time - 4-5 minutes) 2009/04/06 01:32:39.47 INGV automatic regional location origin time        lat          lon          dep 01:32:39.47       42.33        13.34         1.4   • Manual Location: Available after ~15 minutes (same epicenter but Z=9 km) • Magnitude: • ML=5.9 (03:37 automatic - 4’-5’) • -> ML=5.8 after manual revision (~15 minutes) • Mw=6.3 became available ~2 hours later • First ShakeMaps: available within 30’ • But…

  7. INGV ShakeMap data • Broadband data from INGV stations • Saturated for <80-90 km • Strong motion data from 6 channels INGV stations (~60 through Italy and mainly from satellite stations) • Did not become available because of satellite band saturation • Data uploaded on ftp server from other networks and network operators • none available in the Aquila area • RAN network (i.e., Civil Protection strong motion network) • Available after some hours

  8. Italian strong motion data RAN INGV

  9. Italian strong motion and broadband data RAN INGV

  10. Aquila M6.3 - observed BB velocimeter saturation levels Broadband station saturation: GMPEs from Akkar & Bommer, 2007 Broadband station Saturation threshold M=7 M=6 M=5

  11. First manually revised, intensity shakemaps (only INGV-BB ~2:00 GMT) MCS MM I_MCSmax ~ 7-8 I_MMmax ~ 6-7

  12. First manually revised, PGA & PGV shakemaps (only INGV-BB ~2:00 GMT) PGA PGV ~20%g

  13. Manually revised, intensity shakemaps (INGV-BB + RAN ~11:00 GMT) MCS MM I_MCSmax ~ 8 I_MMmax ~ 7

  14. Manually revised, PGA & PGV shakemaps (INGV + RAN ~11:00 GMT) PGA PGV ~25-30 %g

  15. Final manually revised, intensity shakemaps (all data, finite fault -> a few days later) MCS MM I_MCSmax ~ 8-9 I_MMmax ~ 7-8

  16. Final manually revised, PGA & PGV shakemaps (all data, finite fault -> a few days later) PGA PGV ~30-40%g

  17. How it can go… • Automatic Location: (~ 20-40 seconds 03:33 local time) • Magnitude • ML=5.9 (~3-4 local time) • Mwp=6.3 (~10-15 minutes) • Mw=6.1 (AutoTDMT ~30 minutes) • Mw=6.3 (QRCMT, ~1 hour later) • First ShakeMaps from automatic location with all data but no fault can be available within 5-6 minutes • ShakeMaps including the finite fault can be available as soon the first moment tensor is available together with tectonic knowledge on the area

  18. Location [e.g., Waveform location - Maggi & Michelini (in preparation)]

  19. Overall • 185 total ShakeMaps published from April 6, 2009 to May 20, 2009. • 64 for M<3, • 105 for 3≤M<4, • 13 con magnitudo 4≤ M<5 • 3 con magnitudo M ≥ 5.0

  20. How close are we really ? • System Standardization • New modules must be easily inserted in the standard processing systems • Location: • Really close • Magnitude • Progressive magnitude assignment (ML - Mwp/Mwpd - Mw) • Mw authoritative magnitude • Finite fault determination • Establish continuous real-time strong motion data exchange • The Aquila eq did teach us a lot… • Re-establish shakemap generation based on automatic processing • Easy to do since EarthWorm has already the relevant module

  21. How close are we really ? • When is a shakemap really needed for decision making (1’, 5’, 10’ or 30’ )? • In our experience civil protection agencies will “use” the info not earlier than 10’ • The shakemap procedure should be progressive/evolutionary (i.e., updated progressively as more info/data becomes available)
