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

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

Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg Scale European Macroseismic Scale Macroseismology Earthquake Crowdsourcing Intensity Citizen Science

This database contains macroseismic intensities for Italian municipalities, obtained from questionnaires collected by the “Hai Sentito Il Terremoto” (HSIT) system (https://doi.org/10.13127/HSIT) for earthquakes that occurred between June 15, 2007, and December 31, 2024. Differences from Version 3 (MacroseismicIntensities_2007-2021_HSIT_I.3.csv): some intensities related to previous earthquakes have been slightly modified in this version: The intensities were estimated based on the new territorial divisions reported in the ISTAT 2021 database. Slight changes were made to the processing method. In particular, we considered reports from observers inside stationary vehicles to be valid, treating them as if they were people standing outdoors, in line with the results of Sbarra P., Tosi P., De Rubeis V., and Sorrentino D. (2021), Is an earthquake felt inside a car?, Seismological Society of America, 92(3), 2028-2035, https://doi.org/10.1785/0220200347.
