**5.1 Seismic hazards**

The Earthquake Hazard Map of Lazio produced by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) indicates that the Pontine Plain has a degree of danger that is among the lowest in Lazio (0.050–0.125). Although these data are reassuring, we cannot forget the threat of earthquakes from the Alban Hills, a volcanic system that is currently dormant but that could resume activity at any time (**Figure 16**).
