Follow live all seismic movements in the country, according to the reports published by the Geophysical Institute of Peru. Also check news related to this, as well as recommendations in these types of situations.

- What should your reserve box have?
- The reserve box contains essential and specific items to keep in reserve
Dr. Hernando Tavera, head of the IGP, spoke about seismic activity in the country and its monitoring from the institution, as well as forecasts and the importance of the scientific knowledge that disaster risk management provides.
How to prepare before an earthquake?
Conduct drills, have your emergency backpack ready, and plan an evacuation route with your family. Prevention saves lives.
What is the difference between earthquake, tremor, seismic event, and seismic movement?
They are synonyms, but in some countries “earthquake” is used for the most destructive seismic events.
What should my emergency backpack have?
It should contain the essentials to survive the first hours after an earthquake:
– Hygiene items
– First aid kit with bandages, alcohol, gauze, pills, among others
– Warm clothing
– Non-perishable food such as tuna, energy bars, chocolates, and nuts, as well as cash
– Radio or flashlight with batteries
– Specific items according to needs, such as products for babies, elderly, or pets
How is a tremor different from an earthquake?
Both are movements of the Earth, but we usually call “earthquake” those of greater magnitude and destructive impact, while “tremor” is used for milder seismic events.
Why are several magnitudes reported for the same seismic event?
Because the first information comes from nearby stations and is adjusted as more data arrives from different sensors. Science continues calculating after the first alert.

How do we know an earthquake will happen?
Earthquakes cannot be predicted, but seismographs and accelerographs detect ground movements in real time to alert us as quickly as possible.

What to do if I am on the street when an earthquake starts?
Find an open place away from poles, trees, or buildings. Beware of electrical wires. If you are driving, stop carefully in a safe place.
In an emergency, follow these recommendations.
- Organize yourself at home and in your community to be prepared for an emergency.
- Learn how to pack your emergency backpack:
- EARTHQUAKE IN CAÑETE, LIMA
- Local Date and Time: 01/09/2026 10:16:24
- Magnitude: 3.4
- Depth: 59km
- Latitude: -12.59
- Longitude: -76.89
- Intensity: II Chilca
- Reference: 18 km SW of Chilca, Cañete – Lima
- What is the difference between earthquake, tremor, and seismic event?
From a scientific point of view, earthquake, tremor, and seismic event describe the same geological phenomenon: the movement of the Earth’s crust caused by the sudden release of energy accumulated inside the Earth
- Preparation recommendations for earthquakes:
- EARTHQUAKE IN CHUPACA, JUNÍN
- Local Date and Time: 01/09/2026 02:57:53
- Magnitude: 3.5
- Depth: 9km
- Latitude: -12.22
- Longitude: -75.31
- Reference: 18 km S of Chupaca, Chupaca – Junín
- 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.
- WHAT IS SEISMIC SILENCE?
- Seismic silence is a prolonged period without significant seismic activity or intensity in a region, which may indicate the accumulation of tectonic stresses and an increased risk of a future earthquake.
- 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 every tremor 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 IS EARTHQUAKE DATA OBTAINED IN PERU?
- CENSIS obtains its data from the National Seismic Network (DS-0017-2018MINAM), made up of 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.
