2010 Terex international drill

From 25 to 28 November Italy will host a large international civil protection drill: “Terex 2010”, or the Tuscany Earthquake Relief Exercise. This drill, which will take place in Tuscany in the area between Garfagnana and Lunigiana, will entail simulation of an earthquake of magnitude 6.4, similar to the one that struck this area on 7 September 1920.

These pages explain the goals, scenarios with the model of intervention and salient moments from the drill. More in-depth information is also given about international civil protection and seismic risk.
