Abstract
During the first two week the COES has carried out scientific, outreach
and education, psychological activities only at the Di.Coma.C. headquarters.
This experience has been extremely useful to understand the informative needs of both the relief staff and the ordinary people so more
the EmerFOR project targeted to the teachers living in the first aid tent cities have been organized outside. The EmerFor project has been organized on three main topics:
1) provide basic knowledge on seismology and Italian seismicity to better understand
the seismic sequence evolution in Abruzzo;
2) provide a detailed scientific but anyway easy to understand information on the
seismic sequence evolution using a constantly updated seismicity map and plots of the daily event magnitude and daily event number versus time;
3) provide basic knowledge on the emotional response to catastrophic natural
events like earthquakes and, if necessary, psychological support to the people shocked by the earthquake
