Abstract:
A brief excursus is presented on the projects funded by the Civil Protection of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region aimed at reducing seismic risk. The projects have tackled different aspects of seismic risk reduction: the regional seismometric network can give information on earthquakes in real time, the seismic hazard and risk maps represent the guidelines on how to construct new buildings and where to retrofi t existing ones with high priority, the survey on the school buildings in Friuli-Venezia Giulia provides indications on what to do to make them safe.
