Earthquake-report

Update 18:37 UTC : The INGV shaking map below is showing an epicenter in the middle of the lake and a max weak shaking, which means in human terms luckily NO damage to expect. The contrary would really surprise us.

Update 18:25 UTC : Be prepared for some aftershocks (normally they will be a lot weaker but exceptionally they might be even stronger). Read our How to prepare for an earthquake in case you are not sure what to do

Update 18:23 UTC : Based on our experience, we expect that a radius of max. 10 km around the epicenter could experience slight damage

Update 18:05 : ER does not expect any serious damage from this earthquake. A lot of tourists in the Italian art cities have certainly experienced an exciting event :). We think however that due to the shallow hypocenter depth (2.6 km preliminary) slight damage like cracks in walls, fallen tiles and even landslides are a possibility.
