The Deputy Minister participated in monitoring the test from the headquarters National Institute of Civil Defense (undecided) and the National Emergency Operations Center (COHEN), in the Chorrillos district of Lima.

Sismate did not work during the last earthquake in Lima

Last Thursday, May 12, a strong earthquake of magnitude 5.5 shook Lima and other provinces. However, Sismate was not operational at the time and this was questioned by the populace on social media.

The answer to why Sismate didn’t call is that, first of all, it’s still on probation, so its operation was only available during that period.

TCM He explained that alerts would only be issued when the National Civil Defense Institute (Indeci) determined the likelihood of a natural disaster they considered competent, and among those named were listed tsunamis, floods, landslides or landslides. Earthquakes and aftershocks are not taken into account.

Sismate means “Early Warning System” and is not directly related to the word “earthquakes”.

Hernando Tavera, director of the IGP, told the RPP that Sismate will only be a means of communication for SASpe. “The early warning system will work with sensors. As soon as he considers that the alarm is needed, he will send it by all means: by loudspeakers, cell phones, radio, TV, ”the specialist explained.

According to Tavera, SASPe will warn the public about an earthquake equal to or greater than 6.0 MW (pulse magnitude). It operates through the Earthquake Monitoring and Warning Subsystem (SMAPS) operated by IGP and the Early Warning, Propagation and Communications Subsystem (SDCAT) operated by INDECI.
