ABSTRACT Recent efforts have been made to model the rupture process of large earthquakes in near‐real time (NRT) in Chile. In this study, we propose an automated procedure using strong‐motion data in an integrated system, which can characterize large earthquakes with a finite‐fault model (FFM) in NRT. We developed several heuristic rules using the preliminary W‐phase solutions to automatically set up the search ranges of the finite‐fault inversions. The results show using strong‐motion data and a W‐phase magnitude, it is possible to obtain a rapid kinematic FFM in just a few minutes after the earthquake origin time.

<p><em>ISMD is the real time INGV Strong Motion database. During the recent August-September 2016 Amatrice, Mw 6.0, seismic sequence, ISMD represented the main tool for the INGV real time strong motion data sharing.  Starting from August 24<sup>th</sup>,  the main task of the web portal was to archive, process and distribute the strong-motion waveforms recorded  by the permanent and temporary INGV accelerometric stations, in the case of earthquakes with magnitude </em><em>≥</em><em> 3.0, occurring  in the Amatrice area and surroundings.  At present (i.e. September 30<sup>th</sup>, 2016), ISMD provides more than 21.000 strong motion waveforms freely available to all users. In particular, about 2.200 strong motion waveforms were recorded by the temporary network installed for emergency in the epicentral area by SISMIKO and EMERSITO working groups. Moreover, for each permanent and temporary recording site, the web portal provide a complete description of the necessary information to properly use the strong motion data.</em></p>

&lt;p&gt;The study of strong historical and early instrumental earthquakes is based almost exclusively on the use of their macroseismic data, which usually constrain the area that has suffered the heaviest damage. In the recent decades, strong-motion data have been also employed for the same purpose. We present a stochastic simulation approach to jointly model macroseismic and strong motion data for selected shallow strong (&lt;strong&gt;M&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8805;6.0) earthquakes that occurred in the broader Aegean region between 1978 and 1995. For the simulations we employed the finite-fault stochastic simulation method, as realized by the EXSIM algorithm. We calibrated several parameters for the stochastic simulation modeling using a priori published information (e.g., moment magnitude, stress parameter). Other rupture zone information were collected from published works, such as fault plane solutions, relocated seismicity, etc. A Monte Carlo approach was adopted to perform a parametric search for the stress parameter and the modelling both independently and jointly the available macroseismic data and the strong motion instrumental recordings. The validity and the reliability of this semi-automated simulation approach was examined, to test if this method could be applied either in a fully automated manner, or for the study of the source properties of historical earthquakes. The results suggest that a joint-misfit minimization from the simultaneous simulation of macroseismic and strong motion data is a feasible target, that can be potentially employed for the simulation of older events, for which a limited number of instrumental data is often available. In general, a good agreement of the spatial distribution of the original and modeled macroseismic intensities is observed, showing that can reliably reconstruct the main features of the damage distribution for strong shallow mainshocks in the Aegean area using the proposed joint interpretation approach.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>[…] Recently, an INGV working group developed the first version of a web portal with the aim of archiving, processing and distributing accelerometric data recorded by permanent and temporary INGV stations. This web portal (www.mi.ingv.it/ISMD/) is composed of two main modules: the former is known as the INGV Strong Motion Data (ISMD, www.mi.ingv.it/ISMD/ismd.html/) and has as its main scope the analyse and distribution in quasi-real time (a few hours after event occurrence) of the uncorrected accelerometric data, and the related metadata obtained after an automatic processing procedure. This latter, known as the Dynamic Archive (DYNA, http://dyna.mi.ingv.it/DYNA-archive/) is a dynamic database where manually post-processed accelerometric waveforms are provided, together with their metadata. Both of these archives are designed and structured in such a way that their compilations and updating will be almost completely automatic. At the end of May 2012, a first prototype of the ISMD module was published, providing the uncorrected strong-motion data recorded by the INGV stations for the main events of the Emilia seismic sequence.
