Rilievo macrosismico dei terremoti del 24 Agosto e 30 ottobre 2016, Centro Italia. Dati relativi ai danni ad Amatrice, Accumoli e Arquata del Tronto

On 24th of August 2016 a strong earthquake (Ml 6.0; Mw 6.0) struck Central Italy, causing destruction and about 300 victims. The earthquake was the first in a long-lasting seismic sequence characterized by seven events of magnitude larger than 5.4, with the main event of Mw 6.5 occurring on 30th of October 2016. A macroseismic survey was carried out soon after each damaging shock. In some of the most damaged villages a building-to-building survey was carried out. Assessing the intensity during the campaign in the presence of increasing damage was one of the main problems to be dealt with. In this paper we present the data collected in Amatrice, Accumoli, Arquata del Tronto, and its expanded area called Borgo, after the 24th of August and the 30th of October earthquakes, in order to investigate the damage progression and its influence on the intensity assessment according to the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98). The data, collected according to the criteria of the EMS-98 scale, provide a detailed documentation of the evolution of the damage observed during the 2016 seismic sequence in the areas of Amatrice, Accumoli, Arquata del Tronto, and Borgo di Arquata. The georeferenced information pertains to all the surveyed buildings, offering a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the distribution and extent of the observed damage.
