The 1995 Dinar earthquake struck on October 1, 1995, at 15:57 local time, near the town of Dinar, Turkey. This magnitude 6.4 event, centered on the Dinar-Çivril fault, caused significant damage to the region. The event caused significant damage to the region, with approximately 90 fatalities and over 200 injuries reported. Its intensity reached a maximum of VIII on the Mercalli scale, and economic losses were about 205.8 million USD. While no tsunamis occurred, the earthquake triggered numerous landslides and some localized liquefaction.

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.
