An update on landslides from the 2016 Central Italy earthquake<\/h5>\n

Dr Salvatore Martino<\/a> has very kindly provided a further update on yesterday’s post on landslides triggered by the M=6.2 Central Italy earthquake<\/a> on 24th August:-<\/p>\n

Up to now about 150 ground effects have been inventoried, mainly consisting of rock falls and rock slides. These events occurred from both road cuts and natural scarps. The widespread forest cover considerably reduced failure occurrence in the hill zones at elevations below 1000 m a.s.l. Several interventions are in progress to opening blocked roads and restore safe conditions in the vicinity of the the damaged villages.<\/p>\n

The distribution of these effects is particularly interesting if compared with the one of the previous 1997 Umbria-Marche and 2009 L\u2019Aquila earthquakes as it results from the CEDIT catalogue. The area covered by the new earthquake effects is strictly between the other ones.<\/p>\n

The municipalities which were mainly affected by the earthquake-induced landslides are Accumoli, Amatrice, Arquata del Tronto and Umbria at the borderline of three Italian regions: Lazio, Marche and Umbria.<\/p>\n

In the CEDIT WebGIS available on-line<\/a> (http:\/\/www.ceri.uniroma1.it\/index_cedit.html) each event is inventoried by a technical schedule and an associated picture. The geolocalization of the surveyed events (cartographic reference system in geographic coordinates WGS84), classified according to the level of interaction with infrastructures, is also available in both .kmz and and .shp formats. The inventory is currently updated to 29th August 2016 but further updates will follow in the next days.<\/p>\n
