La Poma
1930 La Poma Earthquake in Argentina.
Example of seismic event we have studied for the compilation of the catalog of earthquakes for South America developed in SARA (South America Risk Assessment) Project.
In the photo, I am with my chief seismologist in historical earthquake exploration in Argentina, in La Poma.
I have also placed a photo on the news of the earthquake in the Gazette of Buenos Aires thousands of kilometers, days after the seismic event.
In the last photo on the right, you can see La Poma vieja, stopped in time, is a monument in the Province of Salta. The new Poma was rebuilt very close to 1km.
SARA Project
The South America Risk Assessment (SARA) project was a regional programme promoted by the Global Earthquake Model initiative which lasted between 2013 and 2015. The project aimed to calculate hazard and risk, and to estimate the compounding social and economic factors that increase the physical damage and decrease the post-event capacities of populations to respond to and recover from damaging earthquake events in South America, by involving local experts from throughout the region.
