Conclusions 1/2 Invitation to repeat more frequently such events was
the frequent comment. The visit to seismic surveillance room contributes to
give more information and clarification about seismicity of the territory, dispel the myth (or deepen the debate) on deterministic earthquake prediction and regain at least part of the reputational damage following both the earthquake and the L'Aquila trial (Amato et al., EGU2013-12140).
Nevertheless, it remains challenging to measure effects of such initiatives on middle terms, and performance indicators are desirable.
