! Murcia today – 900 schoolchildren evacuated from Murcia school after a 3.2-magnitude earthquake

Publication date: 04/01/2022

The epicenter was in the center of Alhama de Murcia and was felt by people in nearby towns including Librilla.

An earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale hit the city of Alama de Murcia on Thursday, stunning local residents and forcing 900 schoolchildren to evacuate.

Townspeople reported hearing a loud bang at about midday and felt tremors in nearby towns such as Liberia a few kilometers away, and the small Morcian village of Barqueros.

The Emergency Coordination Center 112 Murcia Region received two calls from schools in the region: one in Barqueros, the other a high school in Valle de Leyva, Alama de Murcia, where all 900 students were evacuated. Half an hour later, after no aftershocks, they returned to their classrooms.

According to the high school principal, Roberto Garcia, pupils are clear about what to do in the event of an earthquake, and evacuation drills are held every year.

Recalling the earthquake, he said, “At first it looked like a plane breaking the sound barrier, but when we realized it was an earthquake, the protocol was put in place, and everything worked right.”

Because of its proximity to the city center of Alama de Murcia, the tremors also shook the city’s buildings, but despite “the shock they caused among the residents, there is no evidence of any damage in the city”, as confirmed by the public security adviser, Felipe Garcia.

According to the National Geographic Institute, the epicenter of the earthquake was located at a depth of five kilometers. Initially, the intensity calculation showed a magnitude of 3.3, but it was revised by institute technicians to 3.2.
