Peru Igp Front Tender

The Geophysical Institute of Peru IGP reported that this afternoons M4.4 earthquake with an epicenter 30 km southwest of the constitutional province of Callao also originated from the convergence of the Nasca plate with the South American plate.Hernando Tavera executive president of the IGP a body attached to the Ministry of the Environment pointed out that the friction of both crusts which occurs along our coastline is the main source of these events on the countrys coast.Precisely he pointed out that the IGP has prepared the Seismic Coupling Map in which the areas with the greatest accumulation of efforts over many years are identified the same ones that are in front of the regions of Lima and Callao including Ancash Ica Arequipa Moquegua and Tacna. This moderate magnitude earthquake occurs on the central coast but it does not help to release the large amounts of energy that would be released with the occurrence of a larger earthquake.Tavera specified that the movement affected the Chalaco port more but that there is no danger of a tsunami due to the magnitude 4.4. He recalled that tsunamis are only generated when the earthquake has its epicenter in the sea and reaches magnitudes greater than M7.0The head of the IGP highlighted that this institution has a modern seismic network and the National Seismological Center In addition it has been working together with the MEF and Indeci on the project that allows the installation of a modern Peruvian seismic alert system SASPe that will be at the service of the Peruvian population. Likewise he asked the population to remain calm identify safe areas and exits in their homes and abide by the permanent recommendations of Indeci.
