Overview
- The Instituto Geofísico del Perú logged a magnitude 5.9 quake 102 km west of San Juan de Marcona on Friday, November 13, and a magnitude 4.4 event 108 km west of the same town at 03:21 on Saturday, November 14.
- Those reports give initial values for magnitude, depth and epicenter that the IGP and regional agencies say can be revised after specialists process station signals.
- Seismic services across the region, including the USGS, CSN and SGC, are operating continuous networks and publishing live catalogs that news sites are aggregating for public access.
- Civil‑protection authorities are repeating clear safety steps such as drop‑cover‑hold, preparing emergency kits with water and medicines, and following tsunami evacuation routes if advised by officials.
- Peru lies on the Nazca–South American plate boundary, a source of frequent earthquakes, so residents in coastal Ica and nearby regions should expect aftershocks and watch official channels for updated event catalogs and guidance.
