The 1995 Aigio earthquake struck Western Greece near the coastal city of Aigio at 03:15:48 local time on 15 June, on either the Aigion fault or an unnamed offshore fault. The earthquake measured 6.4–6.5 on the moment magnitude scale (Mw ), had a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) of VIII (Severe), and EMS-98 intensity of IX (Destructive). The horizontal peak ground acceleration reached 0.54 g—the strongest ever recorded in Greece. Destruction was significant, and building collapses left 26 dead and up to 200 injured. Monetary damages reached $660 million. Only 15 minutes after the mainshock, a large aftershock caused further damage. In the aftermath, several countries and organizations provided disaster aid, including search and rescue and refugee assistance operations. Other faults
