Find here of all the earthquakes recorded in Peru. We are located in a country located in the “Pacific fire Belt”This being one of the most seismic activity and convergence of plaques, which makes it one of the highly prone regions to suffer from telluric movements. In the next note you can learn more about the last earthquake reported in national territory: where was the epicenter of the earthquake in Peru? What area was the exact place of the tremor? Check the nature of each movement, from tremorsmedium intensity earthquakes to earthquakes reported by the official Site of the PGI (Geophysical Institute of Peru) and social networks of the same entity.
This was the last report shared by the PGI. This information and each of the shared reports to the Peruvian population are provided by the censis who obtain the data of the National Seismic Network (DS-0017-2018minam), formed and composed of a series of speed sensors, acceleration and displacement distributed throughout the country. This is how he works hand in hand with him Peru Geophysical Institute (PGI) to publicize the details of each earthquake registered in the Peruvian national zone.
As mentioned above, Peru is located in a place prone to earthquakes due to the convergence of tectonic plates. This highly seismic area is called the “Pacific fire belt.” According to the latest PPE reports, the Peruvian territory would have accumulated a great seismic energy to the south of the country, which is why an earthquake of great magnitude is expected or forecasts. The respective entities such as IGP, Indeci and other responsible institutions have made an alert call to the population to stay prepared for any natural catastrophe.

With the purpose of encouraging prevention and keeping Peruvians informed, Indeci requested that each citizen take into account a contingency plan before any natural disaster, mainly an earthquake of great magnitude. Throughout the 2024, two national drills were carried out with the objective of establishing a culture of prevention by making known basic information before any seismic scenario.
Indeci recommends that each family have preventive policies such as an emergency backpack in which you should have hygiene items, non -perishable food, clothing and coats, medicines, your identification, communications devices such as batteries, flashlights and more.
This is what your emergency backpack should have:
How to assemble your emergency backpack against earthquakes? This recommends Indeci
Also, the entity shares what to do before an eventual earthquake through its networks:
Finally, they have also shared a family emergency plan that you can apply from home. Find out here what it is about:
