Moreno warned that tremors and aftershocks, similar to those that happened in the early hours on Sunday, are highly likely in the coming days and even weeks.
He asked the public to become "familiar with the guidelines" on what to do in the event of an earthquake.
Moreno thanked the volunteers from the association of architects, who are working with the emergency services. They will help address any concerns and inspect buildings showing any sort of defect, "to determine whether the issue is structural or merely temporary".
Juanma Moreno pointed out that, in principle, pending the confirmation of engineers, there is no indication that any buildings are at risk.
