Forty years have passed since the terrible earthquake that destroyed central Friuli (north-eastern Italy) in 1976.

This volume aims at collecting a summary of what our scientifi community and administrative boards have learnt in fi elds of seismology, engineering, communication, and management from the 1976 event.
