PHILVOCS: ‘Big One’ Earthquake Might Hit Anytime!
Earlier, Phivolcs declared that there is an upcoming ‘big one’ earthquake that could hit Metro Manila and the nearby provinces under the west valley faults. The disastrous earthquake was expected to strike 3 to 4 years from now, but Phivolcs confirmed that the quake could strike anytime.
Two major faults or trenches in our country are now under the observation of Phivolcs. When these faults start to move, a great area of Luzon would be affected by the expected 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) also described that San Manuel Fault Line in the province where San Roque Dam was built could be possibly affected by the quake due to west valley fault movement.
The expected movement of Manila trench in the West Philippine Sea might cause a catastrophic tsunami in the 14 coastal towns of Pangasinan. PDRRMC spokesperson Avenix Arenas also said that Bulacan, Metro Manila up to Southern Luzon will the most quake and tsunami affected areas.
Some researches show that a 32 feet tsunami could be produced by the upcoming disastrous earthquake. Residents in the coastal areas of the affected areas need to be prepared because the quake could possibly strike anytime.
Arenas also advised the residents of the said areas to be well-prepared on the upcoming devastating earthquake to avoid injuries and casualties. Earthquake drills, preparations, and equipment could help the residents in the affected areas to be well prepared.
