Lists of Evacuation Centers In Case of 7.2 Magnitude Manila Earthquake

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has released the list of possible evacuation centers in case a 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake hits Manila. The announcement of the list is part of the preparation and this is to remind everyone that there's a really a big possibility that Manila will experience a massive quake if it will hit the West Valley Fault.

West Valley Fault (see map below.) measuring about 100-kilometer-long fault system, which passes through various cities and provinces which includes Bulacan, Quezon City, Marikina, Pasig, Makati, Taguig, Muntinlupa, Rizal, Cavite and Laguna, may possibly cause a 7.1 magnitude quake, PHIVOLCS said.

And according to PHIVOLCS that over 30,000 individuals may die and over 100,000 may be injured if 7.2 Magnitude Quake will hit Manila. So they released the list of Evacuation Centers.
In order to speed up the evacuation of residents and the rescue operations, the MMDA has divided Metro Manila into four quadrants: See the list.
