📋 Tender Overview
Chief of the PPE, Hernando Tavera urged the entire population to participate in the second multipurpose national simulation of August 15, 2025This year, the occurrence of 527 earthquakes in different regions of the country have been reported being July the month in which 83 was recorded, according to information from the National Seismological Center (censis) which is a service developed by the Geophysical Institute of Peru (PGI), an agency attached to the Ministry of Environment (Minam).
In a highly seismic country like ours, the responsibility for providing seismic information is a challenge, but as an institution of the State, the effort that is made is meritorious when it comes to the population, being the impulse to fulfill our mission, said the institutional chief IGP, Hernando Tavera.
The censis monitors the occurrence of earthquakes throughout the country in order to deliver the most complete and timely information to the population. To do this, data from the national seismic network is available whose sensors are distributed throughout the national territory.
He said that the regions that present a greater report of telluric movements are the capital Lima (85), Arequipa (63), Ica (56) and Piura (44) and the months that registered the greatest earthquakes were Julio (83), March (81), February (79) and January (76). While in the first days of August 19 have already been recorded.
In that sense, Tavera urged the population to participate in the second multipurpose national drill, which will be held this Friday, August 15. This drill seeks to strengthen the preparation of the population from various natural phenomena and danger.
Understand and respect the evolution of the Earth
The head of the IGP explained that the earthquakes in Peru will always occur because the planet Earth is alive for what you have to learn to respect it as well as all its geodynamic processes that it develops as part of its evolution and makes its surface propitious for the development of human life.
To avoid disasters and that earthquakes affect our lives, the IGP institutional head proposed to follow 4 simple steps:
1. Permanent seismic monitoring.- The PGI, through the censis, performs real-time surveillance, 24 hours a day.
2. Safe construction with technical base.- that is, build in adequate soils and with engineering criteria, as it significantly reduces the risk to an earthquake.
3. Verified and official information.- In case of earthquake, influence only through reliable sources such as IGP.
4. Key drills to be prepared.- Participate in drills, allows a quick and safe response during a seismic emergency.
