Seismic damage assessment helps evaluate vulnerability of historic buildings to earthquakes, improving mitigation strategies. Three methods were used to assess vulnerability of medieval buildings in Campi Alto di Norcia, Italy, after earthquakes in 2016. The methods were tested based on real seismic damage, leading to an optimized approach for assessing vulnerability in similar historical urban centers.
