3. Io refers to the maximum intensity as measured by the European Macroseismic Scale [EMS-98, see (11)]. Intensities and magnitudes cannot be easily compared. Magnitude is related to the earthquake energy released at the source, whereas intensity is a measure of damage created by the earthquake that depends on the distance from the source as well as the geological conditions.
