QUITO (Reuters) -Authorities in Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands on Wednesday ordered the precautionary evacuation of people living in vulnerable coastal areas, after a massive earthquake triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific Ocean.
Authorities in the islands, some 970 km (600 miles) off South America’s western coast, said people living in these vulnerable areas should make their ways to safe zones established by the country’s emergency management agency.
