in the Philippine Disaster Management System.
 Based on actual experiences and observations of national agencies
involved in the response operations done for earthquake and tsunami
disasters from 2010-2013.
 ASSUMPTIONS USED:
• All government agencies and instrumentalities has their own
respective Disaster Preparedness Plans;
• All Local Government Units (LGUs) has prepared and
implemented their Local DRRM Plans particularly preparedness
activities that are directly connected to response;
• The Cluster Approach to response has been cascaded to all
levels of government both national and local.
 National Disaster Response Plan for Earthquake
and Tsunamis

a) Scenario-Based:
Worst Case Scenario involving 2 or more regions,
metropolitan areas

b) Tiered-Response:
-Augmentation (to the operations of the affected LGUs)

-Assumption (of functions of the LGUs in providing

response assistance to their affected population)

REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
OPERATIONS CENTER
(NDDRM OPCEN)
 Is the country prepared in case the West
Valley Fault System Moves?
 PHOVOLCS said the last time the Valley Fault System
moved was in 1658. PHIVOLCS added that as the average
interval of the system's movement is from 400 to 600 years,
there is a greater probability of an earthquake affecting us
in our lifetime

 Nobody can accurately predict when or where an

earthquake will occur. We can only prepare …
 NDRRMC INITIATIVES in Preparation to the
West Valley Fault System Movement
 Updating and enhancing science based tools such as multi-
hazard maps, development of exposure data base ,
vulnerability curves , risk maps, risk data in MM and the
adjoining provinces of regions III ( Bulacan) and IVA ( Rizal,
Cavite and Laguna)

 Development and publication of the Valley Fault System

Atlas,

 Updating and enhancing the OPLAN YAKAL of MMDA into

an Integrated MM Contingency Plan with 7.2M quake from
the West Valley Fault as basis.
The VALLEY FAULT SYSTEM
ATLAS
 The VALLEY FAULT SYSTEM ATLAS

 In 2012, PHIVOLCS revisited the Valley Fault System as part of the

GMMA READY Project which is currently implemented by the
NDRRMC- OCD.

 More detailed information about the VFS is then compiled and

presented in a handbook ---- The Valley Fault System Atlas.

 The Valley Fault System Atlas, a handbook of large scale maps

detailing the situs of the 100-kilometer long West Valley and the 10-
kilometer long East Valley segments of the Valley Fault System.

 This Atlas contains 33 map sheets of varying scales, arranged from

north to south, showing areas transacted by the VFS. For Metro
Manila, it uses 1:5,000 scale maps (22 map sheets), while for Laguna
and Cavite, 1:10,000 (10 map sheets), and Bulacan, 1:50,000(1 map
sheet) .

 OTHER NDRRMC INITIATIVES in Preparation
to the West Valley Fault System Movement
 Formulation and testing of Individual contingency plans for the 17 cities
of MM and 6 Laguna and 6 Bulacan LGUs in regions IVA and III,
respectively.

 NDRRMC in coordination with various partners is facilitating the

conduct of earthquake drills for the 4 quadrants of MM ( North, East,
West South). In quarter 4 of 2014 ( North Quadrant), quarter 1 of 2015
( East Quadrant) , this July 23 2015 ( South ).

 Greater Metro Manila Area-wide Information Education Campaign

(IEC) using the updated multi-hazard/risk maps, risk data for all
Barangays, cities, municipalities and provinces in Metro Manila and 4
adjoining provinces.
 OTHER NDRRMC INITIATIVES in
Preparation to the West Valley Fault

 Encourage concerned agencies in the retrofitting of
buildings, schools and hospitals to make them earthquake
resilient

 Conduct national earthquake drills, continuous ICS
