| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper, we introduce a project for the realization of the first
European real-time urban seismic network based on Micro Electro-Mechanical
Systems (MEMS) technology. MEMS accelerometers are a highly enabling
technology, and nowadays, the sensitivity and the dynamic range of these
sensors are such as to allow the recording of earthquakes of moderate
magnitude even at a distance of several tens of kilometers. Moreover, thanks
to their low cost and smaller size, MEMS accelerometers can be easily
installed in urban areas in order to achieve an urban seismic network
constituted by high density of observation points. The network is being
implemented in the Acireale Municipality (Sicily, Italy), an area among those
with the highest hazard, vulnerability and exposure to the earthquake of the
Italian territory. The main objective of the implemented urban network will
be to achieve an effective system for post-earthquake rapid disaster
assessment. The earthquake recorded, also that with moderate magnitude will
be used for the effective seismic microzonation of the area covered by the
network. The implemented system will be also used to realize a site-specific
earthquakes early warning system. |
