National Seismological Center (Centro Sismológico Nacional)

The National Seismological Center (Centro Sismológico Nacional) is a scientific organization responsible for monitoring and studying earthquakes within a country. It operates a network of sensitive instruments called seismometers that detect ground movements caused by seismic activity. By analyzing this data, the center can identify where earthquakes occur, measure their strength, and provide early warning information. This helps protect communities by informing authorities and the public about seismic risks, improving preparedness, and aiding in scientific research to better understand earthquakes and related hazards.
