Earthquake

In the last 50 years, several segments of the fault have generated devastating earthquakes, such as the magnitude 7.3 earthquake of Ragay Gulf of March 1973, ...

For another, it is crucial in the development of earthquake risk management plans for use by land use planners, local government units and disaster response agencies, in anticipation of similar seismic events in the future. He is the main author of a Commission on Higher Education-sponsored guide book for senior high school teachers on disaster risk reduction and management. For one, its identity will contribute to a clearer understanding of the distribution and geometry of active faults in the region. I left the field team momentarily on the 27th of July to attend in-person graduation rites in UP Diliman, the first time the university was holding such exercises since the pandemic struck two-and-a-half years ago. In 2017, the Surigao (February, magnitude 6.7) and Leyte (July, magnitude 6.5) segments moved independently within several months of each other. Along its path, the fault traverses from the north the Cordillera Mountains, the Sierra Madre Mountains, Bondoc Peninsula, then crosses offshore in Ragay Gulf and Ticao Pass in Bicol, and jumps to the islands of Masbate and Leyte before heading back on land in Surigao in eastern Mindanao.
