The devastating 1992 Erzincan earthquake struck eastern Turkey on March 13, 1992, at 20:18 local time. Measuring 6.7 on the moment magnitude scale and reaching a maximum intensity of VIII on the Mercalli scale, the temblor originated on the North Anatolian Fault mere kilometers from Erzincan's city center. This proximity resulted in widespread damage throughout the Erzincan district and province. This event resulted in over 540 fatalities and 2000 injuries. Economic losses exceeded 667 million USD. Four aftershocks, ranging from 5.0 to 6.1 Mw, were registered according to the Ministry of Public Works and Settlements.

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.
