The first earthquake, which measured Mw 7.2, occurred at 18:04 VET, and was classified as a foreshock. It was followed 39 seconds later by a Mw 7.5 mainshock. Both earthquakes caused widespread damage across the country, particularly in La Guaira and the capital, Caracas. At least 589 people were killed, more than 2,980 were injured, and over 49,000 were reported missing. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) system predicted the death toll to rise significantly, potentially exceeding 100,000. The mainshock is the largest earthquake in Venezuela since the 1900 San Narciso earthquake.",
