Abstract
The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) has the primary responsibility for the seismic surveillance service of the Italian territory and the tsunami alert in the Mediterranean Sea.The activities in the monitoring room at the INGV National Earthquake Observatory headquarters in Rome (hereafter INGV-Rome), are carried on by two seismologists, one tsunami specialist and one technician/engineer who work in three shifts a day to provide monitoring service on a 24/7 basis. They calculate, as rapidly and accurately as possible, the location and size of all Italian earthquakes with M2.5+ and swiftly disseminate such information to emergency authorities, to government agencies, to the public and the media by different platforms (email, text message, and via Facebook and Twitter). Starting with hypocentral and magnitude parameters, the moment tensors, the historical seismicity map and the shakemaps are also published in (near) real time. In addition, the INGV-Rome monitoring room hosts the Italian Tsunami Alert Center (CAT-INGV). CAT-INGV is one of the Tsunami Service Providers acting in the North-eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and connected sea (NEAM) region of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)/UNESCO and is responsible for monitoring the seismicity of the Mediterranean Sea and disseminating tsunami alert messages to member States and EU agencies subscribing its services. The operation and the performance of the INGV monitoring system is ensured by a dedicated research and IT staff who facilitate real-time waveform acquisition and distribution, develop real-time seismic processing systems and new processing algorithms.
