Abstract

Summary

A macroseismic investigation of a moderate earthquake with ML=5.3 at the depth of 14 km occurred on June 1st, 2019 near Floq village about 13 km S-SW of Korça town were carried out. Macroseismic investigation based on online web survey, the degree of damage to structures of human origin. The macroseismic data has been collected through the Institute of Geosciences, Energy, Water and Environment web and Emsc-csem web. This moderate shock was felt throughout southern and middle Albania, in neighboring countries, Greece and North-Macedonia, and in the epicentral area, EMS intensity reached VII-VIII degree. The maximum reported damage was in villages in the epicentral area of Korca district. Statistical analysis was applied to the macroseismic data collected in order to investigate the spatial distribution of intensity of the main-shock. Drawing of the isoseismic map consist of the geographical distribution of intensities averaged value for each town or village. The intensity map indicates areas of amplification and de-amplification of earthquake intensity. This paper gives an assessment of intensity, of attenuation function for the intensity of this earthquakes and intensity isoseismal map.
