This is the official app of the Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) showing the data for the most recent earthquakes that occur on Italian territory and, for the strongest events in the rest of the world.
The parameters (origin time, epicenter coordinates, depth and magnitude) of the earthquake locations are available thanks to the Supervisory INGV Seismic Service, 24h / 24 active, 7 days out of 7.
The parameters may be changed as soon as new data is available.
NEW VERSION, FAST and RELIABLE
*** Between August 2016 and March 2017 were registered more than 65,000 earthquakes with magnitude greater than 1. This abnormal amount of events has made complex manage the database of Italian seismicity within the application.
We ourselves, and many of you have encountered delays and difficulties, especially shortly after the strongest earthquake but when the app should be faster and more efficient.
We then rewrote the app eliminating database management, making it considerably faster in the update, lighter to download but with all the search and the scientific information that make it unique.
However, the database within the app allowed to be able to also use it disconessi from the network, unfortunately now the app requires the connection to the switched network. ***
NEW DEFINITION OF epicentral area
*** In the previous version of the app meant as "earthquake zone" the province where the epicenter lies. Again, as a result of the seismic sequence of 2016/2017, we have tried to provide more precise information. The province has been replaced by the distance from the municipality (city hall) closer to the epicenter coordinates. In the next app release we will be made some changes to make better viewable this information, especially for the versions with smaller screen. ***
FEATURES
The App allows you to view the recent earthquakes occurred in the last 3 days.
The App also displays the Italian seismicity from 2005 onwards, in section Earthquakes Research. You can search for earthquakes:
- the last 20 days or in a selected time interval.
- all over the world, throughout Italy, nearest to your current location, around a municipality, and finally inserting specific coordinate values.
- with a magnitude values within a selected range.
Particular attention was paid to scientific information on earthquakes; are present sections connected to the blog INGVterremoti ingvterremoti.wordpress.com.
***Important information***
The timing of disclosure
The data on earthquakes in this App and all sites and channels are obtained by INGV INGV seismologists present, 24 hours a 24, in the Control Rooms of seismic monitoring of Rome, Catania, Naples and within 30 minutes of an occurrence earthquake.
In fact, it is necessary to allow a technician's time to revise the automatic data and to obtain the best possible localization.
Usually these times vary from 5 to 30 minutes (on average after about 10-15 minutes). This explains the delay between the occurrence of the earthquake and its publication on NGV sites, on social INGVterremoti and in this App.
When INGV not communicate automatically given.
The UTC
In the last earthquakes times of seismic events are expressed using the international reference time UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). To get the Italian time you need to add two hours if daylight saving time is in effect, or 1 hour if standard time is in effect.
