31/05 - 15:09 UTC - Overview update
- A new strong M3.9 to M4.3 (preliminary values) struck the already damaged area. It may not only cause further minor damage but also the fear in the hearts of the people living under this constant treat.

31/05 - 08:30 UTC - Overview update
- From the first earthquake on 20 May: 7 fatalities (4 direct, 3 indirect (heart attacks)), around 50 injured, 6000 homeless and 400-500 million € direct losses (0.3% of Emilia-Romagna’s GDP).
From the second quake on 29 May: 17 fatalities, 350 injured, 9000 additional homeless, and estimates of loss exceeding that of the first event (>500 million Euros and could be up to 2 billion € according to the government allocation.)
- From the two earthquakes, around 500 million € damage to the cheese, ham and other agricultural industries in the region are estimated (Coldiretti). About 550000 wheels of Parmesan were destroyed worth about 220 million €.
- A figure has already been allocated from the government, that between now and 2014, and will provide 2.5 billion euros (500 million rising to duty on petrol and 1 billion per year for 2013 and 2014 of funds recovered through the spending review) for the reconstruction and repair of housing, public services, the interventions of cultural and artistic heritage and for compensation to businesses. The amount given is often larger than the direct losses.
- From the two earthquakes, around 500 million € damage to the cheese, ham and other agricultural industries in the region are estimated (Coldiretti). About 550000 wheels of Parmesan and Grana Padano were destroyed worth about 220 million €. 3500 companies are not working or have damage at this point with 20000 people out of employment currently. Titan Europe Plc di Finale Emili has 70 million in losses from the loss of 33000 square meters of warehouses where 250 people worked.
- Additional taxation will occur in Italy until the 31 December 2012 to the value of 2 cents per liter for petrol, to fund recovery from these earthquakes, which should bring in about 500 million euros.

30/05 - 15:08 UTC - Overview update
- A lot of people will leave the area for a while and will spend a few weeks with family away from the epicenter. Especially children are being send to family and friends outside the area
- Justice will have a lot of work the coming months. Prosecutors are opening investigations in the many collapsed building and especially in those with killed and injured workers. Extensive investigation will have to make sure that building codes have been followed, etc etc
- Gas prices will be raised by 2 cents to support the reconstruction of the earthquake area. A lot of politicians oppose the raised taxes. The tax increase will generate approx. 500 million Euro.
- Province of Florence has offered help in rebuilding the historic heritage of Emilia Romagna
- Franco Gabrielli, head of Civil Defense, has announced that the number of displaced people is now approx. 15,000. These people are mainly people who cannot return to their houses. People who are afraid to stay in their undamaged houses are currently not allowed in the tents and shelters. They are mostly staying with family or spend the night in their cars.
- ER has counted 34 aftershocks above Magnitude 2 since midnight UTC (02:00 AM local). 10 aftershocks were in between Magnitude 3 and 4. These stronger aftershocks (but weak in earthquake terms) will certainly have been felt by many people in the epicentral areas.
- INGV, the Italian seismological agency, has dozens of researchers in the field and collects as much data as possible. At the moment all permanent staff, 580 people, and about 270 temporary workers are fully employed in operations linked to the earthquake in Emilia. INGV also stated that seismicity maps are updated every 5 to 10 years based on new data.
- Ascom, the trade organization of Bologna has announced that they have 1000 rooms ready for the displaced.
- 100 Police reinforcements have been send to the earthquake area to guard damaged areas and abandoned workplaces and houses.
- A 17th person has been found dead at Medolla.

30/05 - 09:40 UTC - Civil Defense update
- Franco Gabrielli, head of Civil Protection, has given updated numbers this morning.
* The number of fatalities is down 1 to 16, and 1 person is still missing.
* SAR teams continue to search the rubble and do hope that they will not find anymore people.
* Historical buildings and churches have been damaged further and the damage cost will be incredibly high to compensate rebuilding, restoration works etc.

30/05 - 06:16 UTC - 17 dead, 1 missing, 350 injured and 8000 additional homeless

- the death toll remains unchanged since last night at 17.
- 350 people have been injured, 12 of whom have been seriously injured.
- 8000 people are homeless in addition to the 6000 from the May 20th quake.
- it has also been suggested that around 8000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed as a result of the May 29 quakes potentially totaling 250-300 million euros just by building losses.

Video shows one of the aftershocks while Fire Department personnel is at work in a damaged area. The video shows the extreme risks to SAR and other workers while working in earthquake damaged buildings when aftershocks are still happening.

29/05 - 23:55 UTC - Missing
- Good news from the Missing front. The initial number of 12 is being reduced to only 1. This happens regularly during earthquakes as people are often reported as missing amongst the chaos after the earthquake.

29/05 - 20:31 UTC - woman rescued
- A woman was rescued by SAR teams (Search and Rescue) from under the rubble in Cavezzo. She was partly buried when her 4-floor apartment building collapsed. She was apparently in good health but was transported to the hospital for further tests.

Damage in Mirandola

29/05 - 17:41 UTC - trains, further aftershocks, China
- High Speed Trains are back to regular service in between Milan and Bologna. Precautionary measures impose that the trains will decrease their speed in the Bologna area. Regional traffic has delays from 10 to 40 minutes (90 to 130 minutes this morning). Other speed reductions are enforced in the earthquake area.
- Since the M4.0 aftershock this morning (11:07 UTC or 13:07 local time), the max. aftershock was a M3.2 at 11:44 UTC (13:44 local time)

Summary 29/05 - 16:34 UTC - Schools, Parmigiana cheese, Carpi
- In Carpi, a town close to the epicenter, people are refusing to return to their houses, even when no damage has been found
- Schools in Bologna were closed earlier today and will remain closed tomorrow. Bologna has minor damage so far, but the measure has been taken as a precaution
- For the second time in 9 days, the famous Parmigiana cheese warehouses have been hit and have been damaged. The warehouses are used to mature the cheese. Last weekend a lot of the damaged cheeses were sold to the public. People from all over Italy came to the selling places and bought the damaged cheeses, partly because they like the cheese and partly as aid to the industry. Industry is currently inspecting and counting how much cheeses have been damaged today.

Summary 29/05 - 15:15 UTC - intermediate summary
- The number of missing has just been increased to 7 (from 5)
- This would be the 21st highest death toll in Italy from an earthquake since 1900, if 20 people are presumed to be killed from the CATDAT Damaging Earthquakes Database.
- A Facebook campaign is asking to cancel the Military June 2 parade.
- Just like on May 20, we have noticed that the damage is certainly not general though widespread. The video below shows a car drive through Cavezzo, the direct epicenter area of the first very strong aftershock. Some barns and walls have collapsed, others are still standing like last year.

- People in the greater epicenter area may expect a big number of aftershocks again! Some may be reaching Magnitude 5 (based on our experience and the specifics of this earthquake).
- A lot of SAR (Search and Rescue) and Civil Protection is now in the area and will make rescue and damage assessments a lot easier than during the first mainshock.

Seismic Hazard map of northern Italy - image courtesy USGS

Update 29/05 - 07:51 UTC
- People in the earthquake area are telling the press that the shaking can be called similar to the mainshock, which would not surprise as the Magnitude was approx. the same.

Update 29/05 - 07:45 UTC
- People in panic have been poured into the streets, leaving apartments and offices. We are now waiting to see if there has been new damage which is an almost certainty.
- WAPMERR, the theoretical damage engine, has calculated a fatality range of 0 to 10, and injuries at 20 to 200
- The earthquake was strongly felt in Bologna. For further shaking estimates, please check our experience table below. All the data below have been entered in our website by people living in the earthquake area.

Update 29/05 - 07:41 UTC
- A lot more damage may be expected as today’s epicenter is different from last one and other localities will be hit directly.
- The earthquake was of course felt in large parts of Italy and even neighboring countries. Also Venice has had some shaking but certainly not damaging.

Update 29/05 - 07:36 UTC
-Earthquake-Report.com expects the town of Modella to be highly at risk.
- San Felice, already hardly hit on May 20 will probably have more damage too
- We also expect a lot more damage on older buildings and especially historic buildings who mostly have not been reinforced to resist earthquakes.

Update 29/05 - 07:30 UTC

- Following USGS, today’s epicenter will be approx. 20 km from Finale Emila, the town which was hardest hit on May 20
- INGV can hardly be reached because of a saturated network.

Update 29/05 - 07:23 UTC
- The reported Magnitude is 5.7 to 5.8, which is as strong as the damaging earthquake from May 20
- The area has been hit by hundreds of continuous smaller aftershocks since May 20.
- The max. strength of aftershocks was M4 to M5, 95% below M3.
- Today’s aftershock is by far the strongest and will be further damaging, without any doubt!
- USGS locates the epicenter near Cavezzo

Important update 29/05 - 07:10 UTC - Very strong earthquake in Northern Italy
Preliminary Magnitude is as strong as the damaging mainshock earlier this month
