Hai Sentito Il Terremoto (HSIT) - Macroseismic questionnaire database 2007-2024, version 4

Type Dataset Class type Seismological and infrasonic data (Earth and sea)

Earthquake Effects Crowdsourcing Citizen Science Macroseismic Intensity

Database of questionnaires relating to the macroseismic effects of earthquakes observed in Italy, collected for earthquakes occurring between June 15, 2007, and December 31, 2024, by the “Hai Sentito Il Terremoto” (HSIT, https://doi.org/10.13127/HSIT) system in Italy. The data were provided voluntarily by individuals and have not been reviewed by scientists, so there may be errors due, for example, to the user selecting the wrong earthquake when completing the questionnaire, particularly for events immediately following or immediately preceding a strong earthquake. Differences from version 3 (MacroseismicQuestionnaires_2007-2021_HSIT_Q.3.csv) - version 4 of the database differs from the previous version in that it includes data relating to locality, where the observer has entered a valid address, and in that it includes some new questionnaires completed after the release of version 3.
