The 2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, registering a magnitude of 6.3 and an MMI of VII, struck on June 12, 2017, at 15:28 local time. The epicenter was located in the Aegean Sea, approximately 5 kilometers south of Plomari on the island of Lesbos, Greece. The earthquake caused significant devastation, with the most affected areas being southern Lesbos, particularly the village of Vrisa, which suffered extensive structural damage, and parts of western Turkey, including Izmir. The disaster resulted in 1 fatality and 15 injuries, primarily concentrated on Lesbos. While liquefaction was not widely reported, the earthquake triggered landslides in some hilly regions and a minor tsunami that caused localized impacts along the coastlines.

The folder OpenQuake_gmfs contains the input files required to generate ground motion fields, considering different rupture solutions and conditioning the ground shaking to the recording stations for the event, where available. The figures below present an example of the results, illustrating the median ground motion fields with and without conditioning. These results are based on the rupture and ground motion model that demonstrates the lowest nominal bias. The maximum recorded Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) was [insert value here], observed at [insert location here]. If no seismic station data were available for the event, the generated ground motion fields are shown without conditioning to recording stations, as illustrated in the figures.
The information collected for the consequences of the event and the corresponding references is available in the Impact folder. When available, information at different geographical levels is provided considering the building damage, economic losses and human impact.
