Replicas have been felt since this earthquake. (Click here to view the map) The epicentre was registered 33km below the earth’s surface (Geophysics Institute of Peru). The town nearest to the epicentre is Chincha Alta. In Ica, a town also very near the epicentre, preliminary reports are indicating 37 deaths and 300 people injured, and numbers are rising as new information is made available. The Peruvian Civil Defence System (Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil - INDECI) is currently setting up a situation room to respond to the emergency. The earthquake caused buildings to shake and hundreds of people to run out into the streets after the tremors were felt in the capital of Lima and towns near the epicentre. There has been damage to buildings and electricity has been cut off in some areas. All flights from the international airport in Lima have been temporarily suspended. As a preventative measure, a tsunami warning was issued for Chile, Colombia Ecuador and Peru by the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics Shortly after the earthquakes, the President of Peru made a national statement confirming that all national authorities were on high alert to respond to the situation and that all health services and centres must be on red alert, requesting all doctors to make themselves available and for all services to be free of charge for those who may need it. Red Cross and Red Crescent action The Peruvian Red Cross (PRC) immediately mobilised a National Intervention Team (NIT) to the region of the epicentre to evaluate the situation. The NIT is accompanied by a Regional Intervention Team (RIT) member, a logistics expert, who was deployed to support the PRC operation to respond to the cold wave in July. In addition, the Relief Director also accompanies NIT and RIT members on the evaluation mission. As soon this team reaches the affected area, more information will be directly available to assess how many people have been affected and to assess the damage caused to infrastructure. The Regional Representation of the International Federation in Lima is directly supporting the PRC National Society, and both are closely coordinating with INDECI, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and Partner National Societies (PNS) such as American Red Cross, Canadian Red Cross and Japanese Red Cross. The Pan American Disaster Response Unit (PADRU) in Panama is on standby to send tents, blankets, jerry cans and other provisions by plane if needs are confirmed. Funds from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) are being made available to support the response if needed. The Chilean and Colombian Red Cross have offered their support to the National Society in Peru if needed. Volunteers from Chilean Red Cross can be mobilized from the north of the country and the Colombian Red Cross has RIT and NIT members available if needed.

  • 1-1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study the Capital
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The capital, Lima, which accommodates a population of over 7 million, about 30% of the national total in the area of coastal dry land, has always grappled with the problem of primary water supply to meet domestic and industrial demand. The Government of Peru therefore made a request to the Government of Japan for technical assistance to study an integrated water resources development of the Cañete river basin by paying due consideration to the conveyance of water from the basin to the capital Lima. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Potable Water and Sewerage Service of Lima (SEDAPAL) agreed on the Scope of Work for the Study on the Integrated Water Resources Development in the Cañete River Basin in the Republic of Peru on November 22nd, 1996. The scope of work for the Study on the Integrated Water Resources Development in The Cañete River Basin in The Republic of Peru (the Study) has been agreed upon between the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Potable Water and Sewerage Service of Lima (SEDAPAL) in November 22nd, 1996, with objectives; (1) to formulate an integrated master plan for the development of water resource in the Cañete River Basin in the Republic of Peru up to the year 2020 (PHASE I), (2) to conduct a feasibility study of priority project(s) to be identified and agreed upon by the two sides based on the master plan up to year 2003 (PHASE II), and (3) to transfer technology to the counterpart personnel in the course of the Study.

  • The PERU LNG Project’S Contribution to World Heritage
    The PERU LNG Project’s Contribution to World Heritage By Gregory D. Lockard Environmental Resources Management (ERM) The PERU LNG Project involved the construction of a natural gas pipeline (Slide 2), liquefaction plant (Slide 3), and marine terminal to load liquid natural gas (LNG) ships (Slide 4). The project also involved the use of a quarry to obtain rocks for the construction of a breakwater at the marine terminal (Slide 5). The PERU LNG plant is the first natural gas liquefaction plant in South America. The pipeline extends from the community of Chiquintirca in Ayacucho to the plant and marine terminal at Melchorita (Slide 6), which is located on the Pacific coast approximately 170 kilometers south of Lima. The pipeline extends for 408 km and passes through the departments of Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Ica, and Lima. It ranges in elevation from approximately 150 meters above sea level at the plant to over 4900 meters, making it the highest natural gas pipeline in the world. The PERU LNG Project has produced significant economic benefits for the people and government of Peru, and will continue to do so for years to come. It is the largest private investment project to date in Peru at over $3.8 billion. The operation of the plant will result in the inflow of foreign currency into the economy, as the country’s export revenues will reach an estimated average of $1 billion per year. The Peruvian government will receive approximately $310 million a year in taxes and indirect royalties during its operation. A percentage of the royalties will be distributed to the project’s regions of influence by means of the Camisea Socio- economic Development Fund (Fondo Desarrollo Socioeconómico de Camisea, or FOCAM).
