Abstract

This job shows the experience of the office “Servizio Sismico Nazionale” (OSSN - Italian Department of Civil Protection), started in the 1992, to build up the complex information system: SIGE. SIGE, that utilizes a lot of integrated technologies to support the seismic emergency management: G.I.S., G.P.S., G.P.R.S., P.D.A. and W.E.B., is activated in case of an earthquake of magnitude 5 or more that hits the Italian Territory. The article describes the different phases of a seismic crisis: the activities start from the scenario production in the OSSN centre, continue in the involved area with the data collection and close with the production of synthesis maps for the emergency management. SIGE utilizes the positive experience of two IST European project: FORMIDABLE and EGERIS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
