The United States Geological Survey
recorded a Magnitude 4.2 Earthquake at a depth of 9.3 km, roughly 4 km to
the north of the island of Ischia, in the Gulf of Naples,
Italy, slightly before 7.00 pm local time (slightly before 10.00 pm GMT) on Monday 21 August 2017. Surprisingly for such a small event the Earthquake caused a large number of buildings to collapse on the island, leading to two confirmed deaths and many being injured. Around 2500 people are thought to have been made homeless by this event.

Historically
Italy has suffered a significant number of devastating Earthquakes that lead to
large numbers of casualties, though in recent decades the country has
made serious attempts to prevent this, with better warning systems and
tighter building regulations, though the large number of historic
buildings in Italy, which cannot easily be replaced (and any attempt to
do so would be unlikely to succeed due to their high cultural value),
meaning that the country is unlikely to be completely risk free any time
soon.

However the large number of building collapses and casualties on Ischia this week has raised concerns about building safety there, as a Magnitude 4.2 Earthquake would not be expected to cause much damage to buildings in areas where Earthquakes are rare, and is alarming in an Earthquake-prone developed country such as Italy. The problems are being blamed on lax enforcement of planning regulations on the island, with many properties being built without any formal permission or reference to planning regulations, predominantly by landlords who typically then let out the buildings as holiday accommodation.

Italy
is in an unusual tectonic setting, with the west of the country lying
on the Eurasian Plate, but the east of the country lying on the Adriatic
Plate, a microplate which broke away from North Africa some time in the
past and which is now wedged into the southern margin of Europe,
underlying eastern Italy, the Adriatic Sea and the west of the Balkan
Peninsula. This, combined with the northward movement of the African
Plate into Italy from the south, leads to uplift in the Apennine
Mountains that run the length of the country, and makes Italy extremely
prone to Earthquakes.

Witness
accounts of Earthquakes can help geologists to understand these events,
and the structures that cause them. The international non-profit
organisation Earthquake Report is interested in hearing from people who may have felt this event; if you felt this quake then you can report it to Earthquake Report here.
