Morphine Prince 109,770 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 As seismologists in the country say that a 7.2-magnitude earthquake produced by the Valley Fault System may hit several parts of Manila any time, Philippines has chalked out a detailed action plan to save itself from a Nepal-like situation.In a bid to minimise destruction to lives and structure, the country has introduced the new Valley Fault System Atlas, a tool that will ensure Metro Manila is prepared for the "big one", according to local experts.The atlas prepared by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) contains detailed images of specific streets and villages lying on or near the fault line.The country's disaster management agency, which has warned of a "mega earthquake" in Metro Manila, has asked its citizens to be prepared. Phivolcs director Solidum, who sounded the alarm bells, stated that only by being prepared can a Nepal-like destruction be prevented.In Nepal, more than 8,000 people were killed after the country was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake last month. Last year, a joint study by Filipino agencies and the Australian government had found that a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in the West Valley Fault could kill 37,054 people.After it was predicted that Philippines would face a major earthquake, the affected citizens who live along or on the fault line took to Twitter to express their fears. The hastag #PrayForThePhilippines became a trend on Twitter.Source: http://m.ibtimes.co.in/philippines-braces-7-2-magnitude-earthquake-metro-manila-632969 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
