Natural HazardsSummary: We present a number of data for the Pyrgos (W. Peloponnessos, Greece), which took place on 26 March 1993 and caused considerable damage in the town of Pyrgos and the surrounding area. The local geological and neotectonic conditions are also outlined; they are mainly characterized by complex stratigraphic structure and outcrop pattern, together with a large number of large active fault zones and/or isolated faults. The detailed damage recording in the meizoseismal area, which was based on the EMS-92, showed significant differentiation of damage from one urban unit to another, regardless of the foundation formation. The correlation of the existing data confirmed the decisive impact of faults and fault on intensity distributions. It was also clear that, the larger a fault zone, the greater was the difference in intensity across that structure. - Reproduced
