Very Strong earthquake - Central Italy - at least 37 dead
Last update: August 24, 2016 at 10:53 am by By Armand Vervaeck and Dr. James Daniell
UPDATE 10:00am GMT: At least 37 dead are being reported with around 2500 homeless. We do not have the locations of the deaths apart from the original 21. We hope that the toll will hopefully not reach the upper bounds of the models. People are still trapped in certain towns close to the epicenter.
UPDATE 8:07am GMT: Good news from Nocera near the epicenter where they report damage to be not as significant as it could have been due to the strong use of earthquake resistant codes in their buildings.
UPDATE 8:05am GMT: In past events like L'Aquila the final death toll was 308, and at 12 hours, the death toll was reported to be around 92.
It is likely therefore, although being of a lesser impact than the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake, that the death toll will rise to at least 50 with the significant number of trapped people.
UPDATE 8:00am GMT: 11 of these 21 are in Lazio (5 in Amatrice); and 10 in Marche at Pescara del Tronto (Ascoli Piceno).
UPDATE 7:51am GMT: At least 21 people have been killed and many more are trapped under the rubble.
The theoretical models of CATDAT show a median of 38 deaths with a range between 9 and 126 deaths; and an average $4.3 billion USD damage with a range from $1.6-8.5 billion.
There is a significant amount of improvement in some towns with better building practices therefore it is hoped this will be reduced.
Theoretical models from USGS show the highest percentage chance between 100-1000 deaths (33%) and 10-100 deaths (31%). They also believe losses will be over $1 billion.
