WHAT ARE THE SEISMIC ZONES IN PERU?

According to Indeci, the coastal zone of Peru is the one with the highest risk due to the occurrence of high-magnitude earthquakes with relative frequency.

“During the last 500 years of history, all the cities near the coastal zone have been affected by earthquakes to a lesser and greater degree. At the same time, depending on the morphology of its coasts, tsunamis have been present in specific areas with greater intensity”, it specifies in an official report.
