Where was the last tremor in Chile? Several earthquakes have been recorded since the beginning of today, Wednesday June 14, in different locations in the country. To know more details about these seismic events we bring you the official report of the National Seismological Center (CSN) from the University of Chile. Given the geographical conditions of the national territory, tremors can manifest at any time and place; therefore, it is important to keep abreast of recent telluric movements.
Earthquake in Chile: What should an emergency backpack include?
What is the reason for high seismic activities in Chile? The most powerful earthquakes in the world have been recorded for a reason: the country is in the middle of two large tectonic plates, one of them four times larger than those that pass through Mexico. Víctor Hugo Espíndola, a seismologist at the UNAM Institute of Geophysics, explains that the intensity of the tremors in Chile is due to the fact that the country is at the junction of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate, which means that when they move, they are so large that they release a large amount of energy.
With this context, we offer you up-to-the-minute information on the latest seismic movements according to the official report of the National Seismological Center (CSN) of the University of Chile, so that you are aware of the latest details such as the epicenter, latitude, depth and more characteristics.
What to do in case of an earthquake in Chile?
He Department of Risk Management in Emergencies and Disasters of the Ministry of Health of Chile has raised a series of recommendations that we will list below:
- Keep calm, panic also occurs when people do not know what to do, therefore, put into practice the plan you made with your family, at work or in the educational unit.
- If you are in an adobe or informally built building, you must leave immediately once the earthquake is perceived to a safe area outside, given the risk of the building collapsing. During the evacuation, remain calm and remain aware of the conditions around you.
- In an earthquake resistant building, locate yourself in a place of seismic protection. You must stay away from glass, windows and any element that can fall on you. Take cover and secure yourself under a firm element such as a wooden table or desk, if not possible, do it next to it and to the side of a structural wall.
- Do not use the elevators or the stairwell. Stay inside the property if it is earthquake resistant, do not go outside. Do not go down the stairwell or the vertical safety zone, since the latter is only suitable for evacuation in case of fire.
