WHAT IS THE LARGEST MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE RECORDED BY INSTRUMENTS IN PERU?
On Thursday, October 3, 1974, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Lima at 9:21 a.m., striking the capital of Peru as well as much of the Peruvian coast to the south. The movement lasted about 90 seconds and resulted in 252 deaths and 3,600 injuries.
Peru is located in a seismic zone and the occurrence of earthquakes is inevitable. A study by the IGP indicates that there is accumulated seismic energy in the south of the country, which should encourage participation in drills.
The entity responsible for recording each earthquake in the country is the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP). It also provides official information every time an earthquake occurs through its social media accounts.

HOW ARE EARTHQUAKE DATA OBTAINED IN PERU?
CENSIS obtains its data from the National Seismic Network (DS-0017-2018MINAM), composed and integrated by a series of velocity, acceleration, and displacement sensors distributed throughout the country.
WHY IS PERU A HIGHLY SEISMIC ZONE?
Peru is a highly seismic country because it is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire.
