What does Indeci say about earthquakes in Peru?

In the event of an earthquake, Indeci authorities recommend acting calmly and identifying safe areas inside and outside the home, in order to avoid personal injuries to be regretted. "During the last 500 years of history, all cities near the coastal area have been affected by earthquakes to a lesser or greater extent. At the same time, depending on the morphology of their coasts, tsunamis have been present in certain areas with greater intensity," the entity states in an official report.
