Moisés Molina was on duty in the Chilean coastal resort town of Iloca when the ground started shaking in the early morning hours of February 27, 2011. He was not from the coast but he had seen the tsunami evacuation signs posted in the town and when he saw the ocean change character, he realized it was time to evacuate. He coordinated his police staff and successfully notified everyone, including unsuspecting campers, to evacuate. Thanks to his efforts, no one in Iloca died.
