The 21st of July 2017 (22:31GMT) a strong earthquake (M6.6) occurred in the area of eastern Aegean in the borders of Greece and Turkey, between the island of Kos and Bodrum.
Within 10 minutes the corresponding preliminary shakemap was automatically produced from real-time data delivered by the ITSAK Strong Motion Network. The estimated Peak Ground Acceleration (iso curves) and intensity (see color legend) distribution are presented in the following image. These maps are produced using the USGS ShakeMap® software adapted for the Greek region.
Based on the most probable causative fault of the Kos earthquake, a preliminary seismic scenario is produced in terms of peak ground acceleration (PGA).
The estimated PGA in the town of Kos is ~0.20g. This map is based on the web based software ELER ©).
