Subject: [SIR-Mail] No.927: IQQE (Iquique, Chile) station status From: Laura Sanchez This is a copy of [IGSSTATION-5739] IQQE (Iquique, Chile) station status Author: Eric Kendrick Communications with station IQQE have been lost since the recent earthquake near Iquique. We now have confirmation that the station was not significantly damaged by the earthquake and tsunami, however utility poles bringing electricity to the station are down. We hope the station has been running on backup battery power. A team from Instituto Geografico Militar will be flying to Iquique on Monday to download data and make repairs. Data will be sent to SOPAC as soon as we have more. Regards, Eric Kendrick
