The calamity that occurred in Japan last Friday sparked the attention about the safety of the Philippines about earthquakes and tsunamis. PHIVOLCS and the government assured that the new high-rise buildings around Metro Manila are sound enough to withstand earthquakes. However, many people are still concerned, especially because of the many fault lines around our country.
For those who are looking for a map issued by PHIVOLCS that shows the major fault lines, I suggest that you visit the PHIVOLCS Fault Finder map. The Fault Finder map shows the distribution of active faults and trenches in the Philippines as delineated by PHIVOLCS. The picture below shows the general location of fault lines and trenches. The Fault Finder map of PHIVOLCS is much clearer and interactive so I suggest that you should look at it.

To see the regional distribution of fault lines in the Philippines, I suggest that you also look at the Fault Finder map of PHIVOLCS.
Be prepared for earthquakes and the best preparation is to gain knowledge.

Hello Anonymous
ReplyDeletePHIVOLCS doesn't have the map you need. The only map available is this: http://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/images/active.faults/region%20vi%20and%20vii.pdf

HI! DO YOU HAVE DOCUMENTS INDICATING THE TYPE OF FAULTING MECHANISM FOR EACH ACTIVE FAULT? THIS DATA ARE REQUIRED TO SEARCH FOR ACCELEROGARAM RECORDS FROM THE "PEER STONG MOTION DATABASE". http://peer.berkeley.edu/smcat/search.html
ReplyDeleteWE DO THIS TO PERFORM TIME-HISTORY ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES.

ReplyDeleteAno po yung ibig ninyong sabihin sa Feb 22 earthquake? May nag-predict po ba na may lindol nangyari noong Feb 22?
Tungkol naman po sa tanong ninyo, malungkot pong sabihin pero totoo po yung nasa balita. Maraming mga lumang gusali ang tiyak na bibigay kapag lumindol sa Marikina Fault Line.
Kung nakatira kayo sa Metro Manila ay tingnan po ninyo kung yung bahay ninyo ay malapit sa isang fault line. Tapos tingnan ninyo kung matibay pagkagawa ng bahay ninyo.
I wanted to know the exact location of a fault line here in Talisay City, Cebu as I lived here in Talisay and there's a 7.2 quake here yeterday. thanks.

ReplyDeleteHi! Just wanna ask, meron po bang fault line na near sa Baguio?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteBase sa mapa ng PHIVOLCS ay walang fault line sa mismong Baguio City. Kaso may fault lines sa paligid ng Baguio.
Please check the PHIVOLCS map at this URL: http://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/images/active.faults/car.pdf
Sobrang liit grabe nkita ko whahahaha

Hello, Ishmael. Thank you for your post.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to point out how patiently you answered each comment reminding them of your suggestion to open the PDF and visit the PHIVOLCS site for more information. It's funny they'd leave these comments when they haven't read your post. Halatang hindi nagnabasa.
Hi, I want to see or know the specific areas of active west valley fault of Pasong Putik Proper Quezon City. Please.

If you want the specific area, I suggest that you refer to the map in Nababaha.Com which may be seen at this URL: http://nababaha.com/marikina_valley_fault.htm
Hi I'm Poch

Salamat po.
