UWI Seismic Research Centre: When the damage in Los Iros, southern Trinidad, was first reported on Friday, June 27, 2025, we received requests asking if an event occurred close to the area. No activity was recorded on the seismic network.

Upon inspection of the footage sent in, our engineering seismologist, Dr Ilias Papadopoulos concluded it could be a result of mass movement (landslides) caused by the recent heavy rains.

The damage may look similar to what occurred after the earthquake in 2018 but a different geologic phenomenon caused it. In this case, gravity played a pivotal role in the damage observed.
