Nicaragua on extreme red alert after earthquake tremors
Holidaymakers are advised to check hotel earthquake advice as Nicaragua is put on maximum alert.
The authorities in Nicaragua have put the entire country on an "extreme red alert", the highest possible, after a series of tremors.
Officials said the recent tremors had reactivated a fault which caused a devastating earthquake in 1972.
In the past week, Nicaragua has been hit by three quakes of magnitudes ranging between 5.1 and 6.7, as well as dozens of aftershocks.
The Foreign Office advice on Nicaragua states: "There has been an increase in seismic activity in April 2014. Make sure you know what to do if a tremor or earthquake occurs. Read the hotel earthquake instructions."
