PERU: EARTHQUAKE EQ-2007-000133-PER 4 September 2007 Appeal No. MDRPE003 GLIDE no. PERU: EARTHQUAKE EQ-2007-000133-PER 4 September 2007 The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in 185 countries. In Brief Operations Update no. 3; Period covered: 25 August to 31 August 2007; Revised Appeal target: CHF 5,605,000 (USD 4,655,316 or EUR 3,396,970); Appeal coverage 81% including pledges yet to be formally registered; Outstanding needs: CHF 1,076,851 (USD 894,395 or EUR 652,637) (Contributions List attached and is also available on the website) Appeal History • On 17 August 2007 an emergency appeal was launched for CHF 1,626,000 (USD 1,341,869 or EUR 979,150) for 5 months to assist 4,000 families (20,000 people) • Appeal revised on 20 August 2007 to CHF 5,605,000 (USD 4,655,315 or EUR 3,396,970) for 9 months to assist 7,500 families (37,500 people) • Final Report due on 17 August 2008 • Disaster Relief Emergency Funds (DREF) allocated: CHF 250,000 (USD 207,641 or EUR 151,515) Operational Summary: The Peruvian Red Cross (PRC) / Federation relief operation has to date assisted 8,809 families with shelter and non-food items, over a vast geographic area including scattered rural communities. The operation is complex as a result of the different conditions of the affected population who live in both urban and rural areas, many of whom are fishermen or highland farmers. In some urban areas economic activity is clearly on the increase as more businesses open every day, from large fishing factories to the local bakery and corner store. However, in urban Pisco, Chincha and Ica and the small villages surrounding them many of those affected are still living in very difficult conditions in formal or informal shelters or outside of their destroyed or damaged homes with the few possessions they have salvaged, exposed to the cold at night. The Peruvian Red Cross / Federation response is focusing on the distribution of vital relief goods including tents, plastic sheeting, hygiene kits, kitchen sets and blankets, delivery of psychosocial support, the provision of clean water and primary health services. A team of experts has undertaken a preliminary assessment on measures to promote early recovery, including the provision of alternative shelter kits with extensive use of local resources and materials. The activities that will be developed aim at strengthening human dignity in these adverse conditions, and reinforces the right of those affected to take full part in the decision-making process during the relief and recovery phases. Generous contributions from a series of Partner National Societies (PNS) as well as external partners have made it possible to achieve these results quickly and efficiently. The PRC/Federation would like to thank PNS having contributed to the Appeal: the American Red Cross, the Belgium Red Cross, the Canadian Red Cross, the Finnish Red Cross, the Italian Red Cross, the Irish Red Cross, the Japanese Red Cross Society, the Luxembourg Red Cross, the Red Cross of Monaco, the Netherlands Red Cross, the Singapore Red Cross, the Spanish Red Cross and the Swedish Red Cross. In addition, the PRC/Federation would like to thank the European Commission and its Humanitarian Directorate, the governments of Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain and Sweden as well as Teléfonica, KLM, the Monsanto 2 Peru: Earthquake; Appeal no. MDRPE003; Operations Update no. 3 Fund, the OPEC Fund for International Development, the SAFRA Edmond J. Philanthropic Foundation, USAID and the ALAS Foundation (please see full contributions list attached below). The present coverage of the Appeal stands at 81 per cent, of which approximately 56 per cent is in cash contributions and 23 per cent represents in-kind donations. The PRC / Federation operation is seen as a model of efficiency in a difficult environment, where overall coordination of activities is improving. While the announced contributions will facilitate the development of the early recovery initiatives, further unearmarked cash donations are required in order for the Peruvian Red Cross/Federation to be in a position to fully implement the activities outlined in the Emergency Appeal. The International Federation undertakes activities that are aligned with its Global Agenda, which sets out four broad goals to meet the Federation's mission to "improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity".

  • 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).

  • 2. Seismological Aspects
    Pisco Earthquake, Peru, August 15, 2007 2. SEISMOLOGICAL ASPECTS 2.1. Tectonic and Seismological background The Pisco Peru earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American Plate (see Fig. 2.1. after Degg and Chester [1], who give a nice overview of Seismic and Volcanic hazards in Peru). The amount of movement is approximately 7-8 cm/ year. Several large magnitude earthquakes have occurred in the historical period (see Fig. 2.2), most recently in 2001 in the southern part of Peru (see e.g. [14]). Tavera et. al. have estimated a “seismic gap” in the subduction zone at the height of Pisco and Ica (see red mark in Fig. 2.2.) Fig. 2.1. Tectonic map. (after Degg and Chester, 2005, [1] 8 Pisco Earthquake, Peru, August 15, 2007 Fig. 2.2. The Pisco Peru earthquake ruptured an identified seismic gap. (after Tavera et. al. 2007, [3].) 2.2. The August 15 earthquake August 15 18:41 local time a magnitude 8 (Mw=moment magnitude) class earthquake occurred of the middle part off Peru’s coast, close to the cities of Chincha, and Pisco. The duration of the earthquake was very long with over 2 minutes of strong ground shaking at Ica (see Fig. 2.5). The local/Richter magnitude computed by IGP was 7.0 (ML). (The use of different magnitude by seismologists caused confusion since laymen take them for the same thing, which they are not. This confusion was amplified by a rumor that reconstruction financial support would depend on the magnitude).
