Earthquake Damage – Before and after photographs.

The following photographs were obtained from the Costa Rica university website of the Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica or OVSICORI which monitors and records volcanic and seismic activity to help prevent natural disasters of this kind.

All earthquake damage photographs were taken by E. Duarte and we publish them here for your interest as we know so many of you do not like downloading files from the internet.
