"18 small earthquakes detected in less than 24 hours in Las Cañadas del Teide
The magnitudes of microseismic activity are between 0.2 and 1.1 and the depths between 6 and 14 kilometers

The National Geographic Institute detected from the first hour of February 13 until 1.09 on day 14, 18 small earthquakes, of which 16 have been located inside Las Cañadas del Teide, concentrated in an area southwest of Pico Viejo and Northeast of Guía de Isora. The magnitudes of the microsisms are between 0.2 and 1.1 and the depths between 6 and 14 kilometers.

The seismic activity of the last hours is located in an area with numerous microseismic activity detected and located in the last months. This does not pose any risk to the population and is within the normal parameters in active volcanic areas, such as the island of Tenerife.

During the month of January, a total of 175 earthquakes were located in the Archipelago, with a maximum magnitude of 3.3 mbLg corresponding to the Earthquake on the 26th, with an epicenter located approximately 2 kilometers off the southwest coast of the island of El Hierro and at a depth of 30 km.

Apparantly IGN were on Canarian TV last night about the activity on Tenerife asking for Tranquility and stated these earthquakes are normal for a Volcanic Active Island and not to scaremonger.

To me this hopefully has now brought to the attention of the islanders that they do live on a Volcanic Active Island and therefore it will bring pressure for the Canarian Government to put in place for the islanders evacuations plans and routes and information what to do IF and I stress IF there is a future eruption.

"The Government Delegation gathers emergency personnel to analyze the volcanic risk for Civil Protection in the Canary Islands
The subdelegate of the Government in Las Palmas, Teresa Mayans, affirms that in an active volcanic area such as the Canary Islands, prevention measures focused on knowledge and permanent surveillance are necessary"

The Government's delegate in Las Palmas, Teresa Mayans, inaugurated this Monday the Conference on the knowledge of volcanic risk and the impact on Civil Protection, in which personnel from emergency intervention and assistance services address the implications it has for Civil Protection a risk as specific and present in the Archipelago as is that of volcanic activity.

“When you live in an active volcanic area, as happens to the Canarian population, the development of prevention measures is necessary. These measures should be focused on the knowledge of the volcanic activity of the area, which allows to determine the characteristics of future eruptions, and the establishment of a permanent surveillance system, ”said Mayans.

In his opinion, the Administrations have "the obligation to manage the planning and use of the territory, emergency planning and adopt education and dissemination policies in situations of danger, such as volcanic eruptions."

Teresa Mayans recalls that since 2010 Canarias has a Special Plan for Civil Protection and Emergency Care due to volcanic risk (PEVOLCA), which was updated in July 2018 in order to provide a rapid, efficient and coordinated response to resources public and private in an emergency situation of this nature.

State and regional administration experts in Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife
This day, which is held Monday and Tuesday at the headquarters of the Government Delegation in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, will also take place at the Government Subdelegation in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on February 19 and 20.

It involves experts from the Geological and Mining Institute (IGME), an autonomous research body attached to the Ministry of Science and Innovation; of the National Geographic Institute (IGN), an organ attached to the Ministry of Transportation, Mobility and Urban Agenda, as well as the Civil Protection Unit of the Government Delegation in the Canary Islands and the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands .

The objective is to train managers and technicians in the planning and management of emergencies arising from volcanic risk, through, among others, the analysis of recent volcanic eruptions and knowledge of the European Civil Protection Mechanism and the Response Unit Emergency Geology of the IGME (URGE).

The day also addresses issues such as indirect volcanic hazards, such as seismicity, tsunamis, floods and other natural hazards, as well as monitoring volcanic activity through geology, geochemistry, gravimetry and other techniques.

They close the beach of El Arenal, in Tenerife, after the collapse of a slope
The decision is motivated by the reports prepared by both the Local Police of La Laguna

The mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, has signed on Friday a side that establishes a ban on the use of the coastal area of ​​El Arenal beach, between Bajamar and Punta del Hidalgo, for security reasons.


The decision is motivated by the reports prepared by both the Local Police and the Coastal Provincial Service in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, following a recent collapse of the slope on the slope of the beach, with the consequent danger to people and bathers that could be found on the coast.

"Our will is to guarantee the maximum security of people and in the face of the obvious risk of collapse that the reports of both the Local Police and the Coast Service, we are forced to take this resolution," explains Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, who asks to bathers and surfers, regulars in this area, who avoid taking risks and refrain from accessing the coast.

The side provides that until further resolution the prohibition of access and temporary use of the coastal area of ​​El Arenal is established, proceeding to initiate the processing of the corresponding files for the approval of the specific Safety and Rescue Plan of the entire maritime area with danger of detachment, in addition to processing for the permanent classification of beach use.

The measure implies that the coastal area of ​​El Arenal cannot be used either for the exercise of the bath or for recreational or sporting activities, either in the aquatic or terrestrial environment "as there is a serious danger to the safety or life of people" . From the area of ​​Works and Infrastructures, in collaboration with the Local Police, the signaling of prohibition of the passage in the different accesses to the beach will be renewed.

In parallel, the City Council plans to entrust the University of La Laguna with a geological study of the cliff, to analyze its state and slope stability, determine the factors that are causing these landslides and, where appropriate, establish preventive measures to avoid them. In this sense, the City Council expects to have administrations to carry out the necessary tasks of consolidation of the cliff.
