On Friday, October 9, 2026, a series of significant seismic events centered in Panama impacted the region, featuring two new tremors measuring magnitudes 5.5 and 6.9 that were also felt in neighboring Costa Rica amid ongoing tectonic activity.
In response to a major earthquake in Panama initially recorded at a magnitude of 7.7, authorities in Chile issued a tsunami threat and established a state of precaution for Easter Island in the South Pacific through the Servicio Hidrográfico y Oceanográfico de la Armada de Chile (Shoa).
Shortly after the initial warning, the Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Respuesta ante Desastres de Chile (Senapred) updated the situation by officially canceling the tsunami alert for Easter Island.
