What's driving the attention

There is a surge in searches related to a false earthquake alert issued by Peru's INDECI and associated concerns about seismic risk.

A rapid increase in search activity reflects public anxiety over a rumored earthquake of magnitude 8.2 in Peru, which INDECI officially denied. The government agency has issued statements clarifying the false alert and emphasizing the high vulnerability of informal housing to strong earthquakes. Furthermore, local authorities are encouraging participation in earthquake preparedness drills to raise awareness and reduce risk in vulnerable regions like Tacna.
