The Acting Director of the Seismic Research Centre of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Dr Joan Latchman, has warned Caribbean countries to be prepared for an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 after Trinidad and Tobago was rocked by a 5.1 magnitude quake on Sunday night.
The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (DPM) said there were no reports of damage or injury from the quake that the National Earthquake Information Center at the United States Geological Survey registered at 5.1 magnitude and located 15 miles west of Port of Spain in Trinidad and 70 miles west of Scarborough in Tobago. It was also felt in some sections of Venezuela.
