Seismic zones of its comuni
A province has no seismic zone of its own: each of its comuni has one. Here is how the 25 comuni of Gorizia are classified.
- Zone 1 (highest hazard)0
- Zone 210
- Zone 315
- Zone 4 (lowest hazard)0
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 →
