Seismic zones of its comuni

A province has no seismic zone of its own: each of its comuni has one. Here is how the 247 comuni of Cuneo are classified.

  • Zone 1 (highest hazard)0
  • Zone 20
  • Zone 3141
  • Zone 4 (lowest hazard)106

Counts are comuni, not residents or land area. The zone is the legal classification each Region gave its comuni, not a forecast and not a verdict on any building. It has nothing to do with the 7% pensioner regime’s “seismic” routes, which depend on the 2009 and 2016–17 earthquake areas, not on a comune’s zone. See the map →
