INTRODUCTION
-The Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire and
situated along two (2) major tectonic plates of the
world – the Eurasian and Pacific plates, and the Pacific
Typhoon Belt. Due to its geographic location the
country frequently experiences natural hazards such
as:
- 20 typhoons a year;
- Existence of around 300 volcanoes ;
- Prone to earthquakes, and;
- 36,289 kms. of coastline that make us vulnerable to
tsunamis
WORLD RISK INDEX
RANK COUNTRY RISK (%)
1 Vanuatu 36.28%
2 Tonga 29.33%
3 Philippines 26.70%
Given that the Philippines’ is the third
country on disaster risk profile, a
Republic Act 10121 or an Act of
Strengthening the Philippine Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management
System, was enacted last 2010.
Philippine National Policies
1. National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Plan (NDRRMP) – 2011- 2028 for a safer, adaptive,
and disaster resilient Filipino communities towards
sustainable development, and;
2. NDCC MC 12, s.2008-Institutionalization of the
Cluster approach in the Philippine Disaster
Management System

Global Campaign
Hospitals to be safe from disasters, as to reinforce both the
structural and non structural resilience of health care
facilities and to ensure that it continue to function after any
disaster strikes.
With the support of the World Health Organization
(WHO), the goal is to have a stronger health system and
more responsive services with better financial risk
protection.
This answers to one of the seven target activities of “Sendai
framework “for disaster risk reduction 2015-2030, which is
to “substantially reduce disaster damage to critical
infrastructure and disruption of basic services, developing
resilience by 2030”.
Metro Manila Earthquake Impact
Reduction Study (2004)
Study of JICA, Metro Manila Development Authority,
and Philippine Institute of Vlcanology and
Seismology.
Identified 18 earthquake scenarios affecting Metro
Manila and its vicinity.
Scenario 8: 7.2 magnitude earthquake hitting Metro
Manila and some portions of Central Luzon, NCR, and
CALABARZON due to the movement of West Valley
Fault System

Projected impact of 7.2 earthquake
magnitude from West Valley Fault
Approximately result in damages of:
38% of the residential buildings,
38% of the 10-30 story buildings,
14% of the 30-60 story buildings and
30-35% of public buildings. It is also estimated that 9 bridges
will be affected,
