Not only Pisco, Chincha and Ica were communities that suffered a disaster in Peru, but sometimes we forget that our country is a land where earthquakes are with frequency; do we need to be scared everyday thinking that something terrible will happen any day? what we must do during an earthquake is to calm down, don't think panic will help us, don't think you will save your life if you start crying, you must relax and think you can overcome it. If you were not at home during an earthquake, the first thing you should do is to call your parents inmediately, but if it is not possible, we must wait until the communication comes back, it is normal if telephones are out of order after an earthquake, but if you keep thinking of everything is going to be alright, it would be the best thing you could do. "Calm down, try to find a safe zone, don't use elevators either stairs, if the earthquake is harder, cover your head with your arms and hide under a strong table but don't be scared because God knows why these things happen"
