USE OF SATELLITE SAR DATA FOR SEISMIC RISK MANAGEMENT : RESULTS FROM THE PRE-OPERATIONAL ASI-SIGRIS PROJECT

The scope of the SIGRIS pilot project is the development of an infrastructure to provide value - added information services for the seismic risk management, assuring a close integration between ground - based and satellite Earth Observation data. The pro ject is presently in the demonstration phase , and various information products are constantly generated and disseminated to the main user, the Italian Civil Protection Department. We show some examples of the products generated during the Crisis management of the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake in Central Italy . We also show an example of products generated for the Knowledge and Prevention service in support of the seismic hazard assessment in the area of the Straits of Messina
