A friend Who work on the Port Autority Office here in the city of Ilo called me to let me know the Local Emergencies Committee ("this would be the translation for "Civil Defence"? sugiéranme better, please) decided to cancel all the Activities in the lower zone of the city (where it is my office + bedroom) and to evacuate. Inmediately, I Went Into Twitter and tweeted in English, of course:
Defense Committee Civil de #Ilo #Peru ha suspendido todas las actividades en la zona baja a partir de las 18:00 #alertatsunami

I found a graphic displaying the release of energy and the forecast according to the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research, here you can check it:

Now we are finishing the inventory in the office, then we'll proceed to evacuate... not because the end of the world is really comming with the tsunami, but because i like taking actions to prevent something bad happening. I'm sad to see there are some people among my friends who want to look way too relaxed about it, but is important to be trainned for dissasters and know that nature is not so predictable, specially lately. So, i already have my back packed and the place i'll go. Here is the forecast published by the peruvian newspaper El Comercio. I'm not scared, but i'll follow the procedures. Live long and prosper :)
