A little while ago a seismic station was put into operation at the air base of Puerto Plata (the base is situated next to the airport).
Installation seismological station
The station registers any earth motions.
Earthquakes occur regularly in the entire Caribbean area, also in the province of Puerto Plata.
Usually they are barely noticeable and only by such a seismological station with sensitive equipment.
In Puerto Plata and Luperon there are also seismological stations forming a network with this station.
At putting it officially into operation by means of cutting the ribbon, military of the Air Force and mayor Ilana Neumann of Sosúa were present.
