The paper contains the scientific and technical considerations that accompanied the implementation of provisional safety measures for residential and monumental structures after the 2009 Abruzzo Earthquake. Emphasis is dedicated to the use of timber shoring, as most common strengthening technique.

The paper proposes some considerations about the seismic vulnerability of the Abruzzo (Italy) churches damaged after the 6th April 2009 earthquake and underlines the topics related to the seismic emergency management and to the temporary supports design for churches. Processing of the data obtained during the post-seismic surveying are thus presented such as the Damage Probability Matrices (DPMs) related to homogeneous macro-seismic area, the vulnerability curves, the distribution of possible and occurred damage mechanisms, together with the correla- tion between the damage index and the safeness of each building. Furthermore a methodology for the design of the temporary supports is proposed and applied to some churches located in Paganica (L’Aquila)
