Residents of Ilha da Brava experience continuous earthquakes and some even consider leaving the island

Local authorities, trying to calm worried residents, issued statements urging calm and advising people to take shelter outdoors when they feel earthquakes. However, the lack of clear information about the cause of the tremors and the lack of predictions about when they could stop have generated increasing anxiety.

Some residents have expressed concerns about the structural safety of buildings on the island, while others fear the possibility of more intense seismic events. Some people who moved to the island for work reasons and/or in search of tranquility and serenity are now reconsidering their decision, considering leaving the island in search of more stable locations.

Local authorities are working closely with seismology experts to understand the origin of the tremors and assess the associated risks. Meanwhile, emergency response teams are prepared to intervene if situations of imminent danger occur.

Local people are calling on authorities to provide more transparent and up-to-date information on the seismic situation, in order to reassure residents and provide clear guidance on the safety measures to be adopted. Continued uncertainty is fueling anxiety and sparking debate about the feasibility of staying on Ilha da Brava, known for its natural beauty and peaceful environment.

The situation on Ilha da Brava continues to evolve, and the community eagerly awaits additional information that may shed light on the nature of these persistent earthquakes and offer insights into the future of the island and its inhabitants.
