A preliminary analysis is presented of the seismic risk assessment in the Province of Salerno to be used as a basis for the definition of Prediction and Prevention programs.

Several maps illustrating the seismic risk are presented and discussed. The vulnerability of constructions, primary infrastructures, and the social system is evaluated by means of a statistical approach based on an analysis of the effects produced by the earthquake of 23 November 1980, using a representative sample of the entire regional territory. Specifically, the correlations identified refer to defined type classes, the data for which is easily f
