EARTHQUAKE NETWORK (SEISMIC NETWORK)

Seismic Network is a new earthquake monitoring system based on a dense array of low-cost
acceleration sensors.

It is responsible for the operational guidance and management of the national seismic network,
short-term earthquake prediction, earthquake data collection, report processing, scientific journal
management, seismological construction, technological research and operations for emergency response.

A primary goal of the system is to produce block-by-block measurements of strong shaking during an
earthquake. Such "shake maps" can then be used by first responder agencies (e.g., fire department,
utilities) to prioritize dispatch to areas of greatest likely damage. Effective emergency response can
occur despite damaged telephone services that prevent civilian calls for help from succeeding.

PHIVOLCS Seismic Monitoring Network

The Philippines has a total of 65 seismic stations, 29 of which are manned, 30 are unmanned, and 6 volcano
stations. The central operating station is located at PHIVOLCS Main Office, Diliman, Quezon City. All
information is received at the Data Receiving Center (DRC), which is operated 24/7 by the Seismological
Observation and Prediction Division (SOEPD).
