Description:
This work describes some activities of information and earthquake education in
Abruzzo and Lazio started some months later the 6 April L’Aquila earthquake.
The “La Terra tretteca… Ji No! – Ritorno a scuola” project: in September 2009 we
provided support to teachers in the most damaged areas at the beginning of the
school year. We met more than 2700 teachers to provide detailed information on
earthquakes, how a seismic sequence evolves and what to do to reduce the risk.
18 schools in Abruzzo (L’Aquila, Teramo and Pescara Provinces) are still working in
the EDURISK Project, a project aimed to school for seismic risk reduction
(described in another work of this session).
Another initiative started after a seismic sequence with more than 400 small
earthquakes in southern Lazio in August-September 2009: the “Tutte je munne
trèma... Je nò!“ project in February and March 2010 allowed us to meet more than
1000 teachers to provide information about recent and historical seismicity and
seismic hazard of the Frosinone Province.
These initiatives arise from different experiences and skills gained in recent years in seismic risk reduction projects (EDURISK Project) and in the field of informationand emergency management.
