Abstract

The activities initiated after the Mw 6.3 Abruzzi Earthquake of April 6, 2010 can be distinguished in three phases: emergency, post-emergency and reconstruction. Although they are not exactly sequential, because of some overlapping between them, it is useful to use such a scheme, also in relation to the objective to be reached at the end of each of them. The management of the emergency and post-emergency phases was relied upon a governmental commissioner, that, until January 31, 2010, was the chief of the Civil Protection Department. From February 1, 2010, a new commissioner was enforced, with the full responsibility of the reconstruction phase. In this paper the main problems and solutions dealt with in the three phases are described, with a main concern for engineering aspects.
