With the purpose of mitigating<br>the risk in the event of an earthquake, seismic intensity<br>is used, so this work had as objective to apply and evaluate in the<br>south eastern region of Cuba, the one with the highest seismic<br>activity, the Intensity_Map software. This tool allows to generate<br>automatically, and in almost real time, an estimated map of intensities<br>considering a circular attenuation. A comparison of the<br>effectiveness between this software and the Macro (traditionally<br>used in Cuba) was made. The maps of the Intensity_Map present<br>a scale of colors in correspondence with the softwares used<br>internationally, thus enhancing the quality of the information<br>they provide. Similarity was obtained in the effectiveness of the<br>theoretical estimates made by both software, mainly for values<br>close to the epicenter, which evidenced the possibility of using<br>circular isosists and the application of Intensity_Map software in<br>the Cuban National Seismological Service for the epicentral relocation<br>and macroseismic re-evaluation of earthquakes recorded<br>instrumentally or not.</p>}, number={195}, journal={REVISTA INTERNACIONAL MAPPING}, author={Palau Clares, Raúl and Porras Loria, Juan L. and Chuy Rodríguez, Tomás J. and Salgado Castillo, Antonio and Rosabal Domínguez, Sandra Y.}, year={2019}, month={jul.}, pages={33–43} }
