Statistics collected on seismic activity in Puerto Rico

Data includes socio-demographic characteristics of the affected areas

The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute announced that they added a new section to their graphics portal with information related to seismic activity that has been reported in Puerto Rico since December 2019. The information is contained in a panel that is updated weekly and includes seismic activity (events, magnitude, maps), sociodemographic characteristics of the affected areas, earthquake preparation guides and telephone numbers by area of the Negotiated for Emergency Management and Disaster Management (NMEAD).

“As part of our mission, we have been working and are continuing to update this new section in order to provide and make available the statistical aspects related to the seismic activity we are experiencing in Puerto Rico. As part of this process, we address data related to the social and demographic profile of the areas where earthquakes are recorded. We trust that these data will help all professionals involved in the reconstruction of the areas,” said Dr. Orville M. Disdier, acting executive director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics.
