SEMINAR

The Philippines is at the Earthquake

belt and Pacific Rim of Fire.
Every year we face National
Disasters calamities, typhoons,
earthquakes, floods, El Nino, internal
conflicts, civil disturbances,
pandemics/epidemics, volcanic
eruption, terrorist attack, climate
change, etc.
The Philippine Archipelago occupies the western rim of the Pacific

Ocean (Western Segment of the Pacific Ring / Rim of Fire), a most active
part of the earth that is characterized by an ocean-encircling belt of active
volcanoes and earthquake generators (fault lines).

The 2013 Bohol earthquake occurred on

October 15, 2013, at 8:12 a.m. (PST) in Bohol,
an island province located in Central

MM EARTHQUAKE IMPACT REDUCTION

STUDY (MMEIRS) FINDINGS
Possibility of 7.2 Magnitude EQ occurring along
the Fault on the Eastern part of Metropolitan
Manila. Another scenario is a strong earthquake
at Manila Bay capable of generating a 2-meter
high tsunami affecting western coastline of
Metro Manila.
Effect is characterized by strong ground shaking
(Intensity 8 & 9) along most parts of MM,
liquefaction, and landslides causing severe
damage to buildings (mostly residential),
thousands of deaths and injuries, disruption of
lifelines and services, and widespread fires.
Always FIRST Always READY Always THERE
MMIERS Earthquake Impact Scenario

A Magnitude 7.2 Earthquake from the West Valley Fault will cause:
Could damage approximately 38% of the residential
buildings (total 1.3 M), 38% of the 10-30 story buildings (total
981), 14% of the 30-60 story buildings (total 119), 30-35% of
public buildings;
Estimated 33,500 deaths and 114,000 injuries;
Additional 18,000 deaths from fire;

9 bridges might be affected; 4000 water pipes or joint breaks,
30 km electrical cables cut, 95 km communication cables cut

PREPARE
FOR THE
WORST
Science has not yet

developed a foolproof
device
to
detect
earthquakes, and the best
time to prepare for the
worst is NOW.

PREPARE
PRACTICE
PREDICT
Know the hazards and threats that

could potentially harm or kill you when
it happens.
Know the resources available

in your community.
PLAN
FAMILY COMMUNICATION
Your family may not be together
when disaster strikes, so plan
how you will contact one another.
Think about how you will
communicate in different
situations
Your plan should include:

How will you get to a safe place
How will you contact one another
How will you get back together
What will you do in different
situations
Teach family members how to use

text messaging (also known as SMS or
Short Message Service). Text
messages can often get around
network disruptions when a phone
call might not be able to get through.
Designate an area to meet with family

members in case communication is out
of the equation.
Create your specific family

evacuation plan for each hazard.
Each family member should be aware

of the evacuation plan.

should have provision to utilize all
available open spaces nearest the
building.

Safe from falling debris and other earthquake
related hazards like tsunami and lanslide.

Once an earthquake evacuation area has been identified and

assigned to a specific group, the building administrator
should then come up with an evacuation procedure using the
available map or site development plan.

Check surroundings
Clean up chemical spills, toxic
flammable materials to avoid any

for defects. If any damage is
suspected, turn the system off
in the main valve or switch.

Help reduce the number of casualties
from the earthquake:
Dont enter partially damaged

building, strong aftershocks may
cause these to collapse.
Gather information and disaster
prevention instruction from
battery-operated radios.
Obey public safety precautions.

Some Tips on How to Enhance Survivability

If Trapped Under Rubble / Debris
Trapped Under Debris
Avoid unnecessary movement

so that you dont kick up dust.
Maintain moral and fighting
spirits high.
Periodically move your fingers
and toes to ensure blood
circulation.
Cover your Mouth and

Nose with anything you have
on hand.
Try to breath through the

available Cotton material.
Do not shout; shout only as

a last resort.
Note : Shout can cause a person

to inhale dangerous amounts of
dust.
Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers

can hear where you are.
If available use a flashlight to signal

your location.
Why do we still need to prepare

an
EVACUATION PLAN ?
Concentrated in one area of

the building.
Affects the whole building and

nearby areas.
Immediate response is to
evacuate people and put out
fire.
Immediate response is to Duck,

Cover and Hold during an
earthquake, and to evacuate if
necessary.
Immediate outside help will

arrive definitely at the
soonest time.
Immediate outside help is not a

guarantee.
Building occupants can be

evacuated in any place
outside the building away
from fire.
Area for evacuation after the event

is limited only to an open area
which is safe from falling debris
and other earthquake related
hazard.
No aftershock to deal with.

Olavere_2010 Aftershocks will be another
concern.
PRACTICE
Government Offices
Office of the Ombudsman
Private Companies
Quezon City Hall
Schools
Earthquake Drill Procedure:
1. ALARM PHASE:
Continuous ringing of siren/bell for
one minute which means ongoing
earthquake.
2. RESPONSE PHASE:
Stay where you are unless
imminent danger is noticeable.
Move to a safer place with
caution.
DO the DUCK, COVER and HOLD
3. EVACUATION PHASE:
After the alarm/siren stops (meaning
the shaking stops) drill participants
should then start to evacuate the
building.
The evacuees proceed through

predetermined routes and
evacuees (unit occupants) should
then gather outside in a
designated evacuation area.

4. ASSEMBLY PHASE:
At the assembly area, groups from
each floor must stay together.
5. HEADCOUNT PHASE:
During the head count phase every
section head/leader must determine
if everyone is present or accounted
for.
6. EVALUATION:
After the headcount there should be
an evaluation.
The evaluators identify the snags in

the drill.
The problem areas or potential
problem areas to rectify these
problem for future earthquake drill
or in actual earthquake scenario.
Food for Thought

How serious do you consider the threats
of disasters in the country and your
community?
How committed are you to prepare?
Is poverty or lack of funds a good reason
not to prepare?
Would you rather be safe or sorry?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Its better to have it and

not need it, than need it
and not have it.
