How seismic is Dualchi: zone 4
The quietest class: the probability of strong earthquakes is very low.

The national hazard map provides no value for this area: that happens in the quietest parts of Italy.
Hazard describes the long-term expected shaking: it is not a forecast.
Why the ground rarely shakes here
Dualchi sits in one of the most stable areas of Italy: far from the boundary between the Eurasian and African plates, on ancient, rigid crust that hardly accumulates tectonic stress any more.
That is why earthquakes here are rare and almost always weak: a small geological privilege.
“Within 30 km”: epicentres less than 30 km from the centre of Dualchi. “In the town”: quakes whose nearest town to the epicentre is Dualchi.
The closest seismic structure
The town lies about 213 km from Northern Africa offshore - East, one of the seismic structures mapped by INGV geologists.
