Shallow shocks directly under San Salvador caused the destruction of multiple structures. San Salvador's children's hospital, a marketplace, many restaurants and buildings, and shanty towns were significantly damaged or destroyed. In response, President José Napoleón Duarte established the Earthquake Reconstruction Committee, tasking it with not only rebuilding the city, but modernizing it; to this end Jesús Permuy, an urban planner and architect, was chosen to be leader. Following the conclusion of the committee's work, he remained in the country for another year, teaching officials about contemporary urban planning.Daisy Olivera https://www.elnuevoherald.com/vivir-mejor/vivir-mejor-columnistas-blogs/daisy-olivera/article219009780.html Ileana Ros-Lehtinen rinde homenaje al arquitecto y líder cubano, Jesús Permuy El Nuevo Herald es 29 September 2018 1 July 2020 28 September 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180928125403/https://www.elnuevoherald.com/vivir-mejor/vivir-mejor-columnistas-blogs/daisy-olivera/article219009780.html dead See also List of earthquakes in El Salvador 1965 San Salvador earthquake References ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900–2009) http://www.isc.ac.uk/iscgem/index.php ISC 19 January 2015 International Seismological Centre Version 2.0 PAGER-CAT Earthquake Catalog https://earthquake.usgs.gov/static/lfs/data/pager/catalogs/ September 4, 2009 United States Geological Survey Version 2008_06.1 http://nisee.berkeley.edu/elibrary/Text/201406236 Evolving Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Practices : Implications from Recent Chile, Mexico, and El Salvador Earthquakes, 1988 Annual Meeting (EERI) Bertero V.
