After each strong earthquake, maps known as macroseismic intensity maps (or shakemaps) are automatically produced in quasi-real-time to describe the severity of the seismic shaking in impacted cities. These maps utilize various scientific information, including seismic recordings from stations deployed across the territory (in France, stations from the public networks RAP and RLBP), and citizens testimonies regarding their perception and potential damage (in France, testimonies collected on (…)
