The Transversal Seismicity Action RESIF: A Tool to Improve the Distribution of the French Seismicity Products

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, the French seismological, geodetic, and gravimetric community has been structured within Réseau Sismologique et géodésique Français (RESIF) (French seismological and geodetic network). In addition to instrumental developments, RESIF has structured the work on French seismicity (metropolitan and overseas) within the RESIF transverse seismicity action (ATS). The purpose of this article is to present the ATS and the way it is structured to propose to the community different products: seismicity bulletin and catalog, historical and instrumental macroseismicity data, and ShakeMaps. The places where these products can be found are indicated, as well as the way they are realized and the improvements in progress for a better realization and availability. The link with European plate observing system is also underlined.
