00:00Meanwhile, the quarterly earthquake drill that PHIVOLCS is conducting has been of great help.

00:07PHIVOLCS gave this to the public in preparation for the possible earthquake.

00:13The West Valley Fault, built by PHIVOLCS, MMDA, and DADJAICA in 2004,

00:20will cause 33,000 casualties and the possibility of death in Mepso, Manila,

00:26in magnitude 7.2 earthquake.

00:30To PHIVOLCS, Director Teresito Bacolcol,

00:33it is important that there is a plan to evacuate

00:36and there is an emergency kit with food, water, medicine, flashlight,

00:41and another family that will last for three days.

00:46He also added that the meeting points should be separated.

00:52Aside from the West Valley Fault, PHIVOLCS is also monitoring other areas

00:56that could be affected, such as the Philippine Trench and the Cotabato Trench.

01:03We cannot be 100% prepared, but as I've mentioned,

01:06we are now more prepared than several decades ago.

01:11But there are still challenges that we need to handle and we're on our way.

01:16For example, infrastructure vulnerability.

01:20Some older buildings, roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructures in Metro Manila

01:26may not be earthquake resistant.

01:28Retrofitting and reinforcing buildings are important,

01:31and this is what our government is doing.
