On the night of February 27th, a mega-earthquake hit the central coast of Chile. The 8,8 Richter scale magnitude movement caused a sequence of Tsunamis in the continental coast as well in the oceanic islands of Chile where the waves crossed the ocean to Hawaii and reached Japan as well.
Robinson Crusoe Island, part of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago, was hit at 4:06 am, with a sequence of 7 waves reaching the only inhabited bay of the island 300 meter inland in a range of 3km.
The Robinson Crusoe Island Recovery Project (RCIRP) is a non profit project that is looking to help the best way possible to the island.
Any help will be great.
Hope you are all well.
