Short summary
The DFM (Database Fotografico Macrosismico), managed by the INGV's macroseismic field survey team – preserves essential photographic records of earthquake effects that might otherwise be lost. Each image is carefully validated by experts using the European Macroseismic Scale 1998 to classify building damage. This expanding archive is a key resource for training surveyors, improving vulnerability assessments, and strengthening national preparedness for future seismic emergencies.
