Overview
- Peru’s IGP reported a magnitude 4.5 quake at 4:04 a.m. near Ocoña in Arequipa, 33 km northwest of the town at 79 km depth, felt at intensity III–IV and with no casualties or damage.
- Mexico’s SSN logged early‑morning magnitude 4.0 events on November 13 near Huixtla in Chiapas and near Miahuatlán in Oaxaca, and civil protection authorities reported no affectations.
- Guerrero saw a cluster of magnitude 3.7–4.1 quakes on November 11–12 around Zihuatanejo, Coyuca de Benítez and Acapulco, prompting preventive protocols without reported damage.
- Mexico’s SASMEX did not activate because the recent quakes were below the parameters associated with likely damage, which generally require events nearer magnitude 6 and other risk factors.
- Preparedness guidance was renewed by INDECI and Protección Civil, with IGP chief Hernando Tavera urging safe, code‑compliant construction as experts highlight Lima’s structural vulnerabilities.
