   **A friendly reminder**

   > Ariel Nepomuceno noted that the Philippines is not fully ready. He pointed out that current preparations only include basic actions like “duck, cover and hold,” and inspections of structures and houses nationwide.

   > A magnitude-7.2 earthquake along the West Valley Fault could lead to an Intensity-8 ground shaking, which would make it nearly impossible for people to remain standing, while buildings and debris could collapse.

   > Rodriguez warned of other earthquake-related hazards such as liquefaction, where the ground behaves like a liquid, ground ruptures, landslides and tsunamis, particularly in areas near bodies of water.

     If you check the West Valley Fault map, you'll see that homes and office buildings were built (1) on top off; (2) around the; and (3) near the fault itself in at least ⅔ of the 100-km fault line.

     In addition and as an example, from where I live—Makati-Pasay boundary—we're only 6-km away from the nearest part of it. It isn't a safe area not only because we're only 6-km away, but also because we are always subjected to liquefaction, so are the City of Manila and the Western part of Parañaque and Las Piñas cities. (The government provided an earthquake hazard map 5–7 years ago, you can check it.)

     Let's face it, practically nowhere in the National Capital Region / Metro Manila is safe when, not if, the West Valley Fault moves.

     The WVF to the north has been traced to start exactly underneath the aging Angat Dam. The government has not released any simulation on what would happen if Angat Dam breaks (I've been asking this for 10 years now). Then there is the La Mesa Dam in Quezon City too, which is connected to Angat Dam.

     The south end of the WVF is near the boundary of Tagaytay and Laguna. And it doesn't end there, when I checked the WVF map 3 weeks ago, they included suspected fault lines further south, nearer the Laguna-Batangas border.

     1. Always bring your phones and tablets with you. Rescue can now detect gadgets to pinpoint it.

     2. Always bring survival kits with you. It can buy you time to get rescued.

     3. Employers must stop forcing their employees to surrender their phones and to store survival kits on lockers.

     You often reason, "managers have phones". Come on! If that manager dies, or their phone crushed, the employees trapped with them are good as dead. And even if those managers have survival kits, don't be a fool, if you're under piles of debris, it's highly unlikely you can share it.

     Employers, you often claim you care about your employees, but you increase the likelihood they'll die if the West Valley Fault moves and your office/work building collapses.

     4. Employees, don't sacrifice your survival chance just for money.

     5. Lastly, stop the foolish reason, "if we die, then it's our time".

     What if you survive? But you were found late and they had to remove your limbs, thanks to surrendering your phones that could've been used to locate you?

     Or, how about your kids? Are you okay in dying and leaving your kids behind?

     That kind of thinking is a toxic Filipino trait, stop it. Aim to live. Increase your chances of survival.

     We often say, "nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa", live by it because it's true. G-d gave us the tools to live and survive, if we don't use it, then whatever happens to us is on us, you can't blame G-d for it, whining later, "why, why did you let this happen if you are indeed a loving G-d?"

     Live! We can survive the WVF.
