In this way, it meets the requirements of the Special Plan for Seismic Risk of the Region of Murcia SISMIMUR, which establishes that the municipality has a high vulnerability to an earthquake and that "in view of the results obtained from the analysis of seismic risk , It has been possible to see that all the municipalities of the autonomous community can have earthquakes of equal intensity or superior to VII and therefore, all of them have the obligation to elaborate their Plan of Action before the Seismic Risk.

The Local Seismic Hazard Action Plan will allow us to know the dangers of seismic risk, to know the behavior of the different soils in the face of an earthquake, to estimate the vulnerability of the constructions, to establish the organizational and functional structure in the event of an earthquake emergency.

The objective of the contract is to carry out all necessary actions to perform a study and analysis of the behavior of the soil in a seismic process, with the necessary tests for the analysis of the local effects, with studies of seismic microzonation and Vulnerability of the buildings and evaluation of expected damages, in order to, in application of their results, carry out the study and elaboration of the Local Action Plan.

The study will be conducted in four phases, prioritizing the degree of greater vulnerability, according to the Seismic Risk Analysis of the Region of Murcia RISMUR.

In addition, the company awarded must have at least one seismometer, a Land streamer equipment, geophones, accelerometer and seismic sensitivity cables, seismic impulse hammer and wave sensors, among others.

The execution period is set at 30 months and the investment amounts to 127,050 euros.
