On June 12, 2017, a shallow crustal strong earthquake with magnitude 6.3 occurred offshore, south of Lesvos (12:28 GMT), 35.8 km SSW of the capital of Lesvos Island, Mytilene, causing one fatality, extensive earthquake environmental effects and severe structural damage in the SE part of the island. A set of the scientific data acquired in the field and the preliminary scientific results obtained by the aforementioned research has been presented not only to the scientific community but also to the general public and to much broader audiences by using a recently developed and introduced tool: the story telling through vos earthquake story map is presented and emphasis has been given to the used scientific data, its structure as well as the accessibility and sharing.
