4. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Simon Oxenstein, Lima resident:
"This morning I heard on RPP (radio show) that as a result of the earthquake in Russia, there is a possibility of a tsunami, but with waves of one and a half metres high. It seems a little exaggerated and alarmist to me, because a wave of one and a half metres is normal on the Peruvian coast, but in any case, it is better to be safe than sorry."

STORYLINE:
Authorities recommended evacuating coastal areas in Peru on Wednesday due to possible tsunami waves expected to arrive after 1500 GMT, following one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Russia’s far east.
Some municipalities in the capital put up signs warning pedestrians to stay away from the shore and closed road access to coastal zones.
However, local television stations showed Wednesday morning some fishermen, swimmers, and surfers remaining reluctant to leave the water.
In Chile, the National Disaster Prevention and Response Service (Senapred) raised the tsunami alert to red for the entire coastal border.
Senapred recommended that evacuees prepare for the emergency with kits including toilet paper, a battery-powered radio, water, canned food, a first-aid kit, flashlights, and a lighter, among other basic supplies.
Taunami warnings were issued in Russia, Japan, Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Russian Far East.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded.
Several people were injured, but none seriously, and no major damage has been reported so far.
