Metro Manila Challenges

y The Philippines continues
to face challenges brought
about by typhoons,
monsoon rains,
earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, and landslides.
y In the past 20 years, at
least 31,835 Filipinos have
reportedly been killed and
94,369,462 have been
affected by natural disasters
and calamities.

HIGHLIGHTS OF
METRO MANILA EARTHQUAKE IMPACT
REDUCTION STUDY (MMEIRS)

The Metro Manila Earthquake Impact

Reduction Study (MMEIRS)
y Conducted by the MMDA, PHIVOLCS, and JICA with

support from the Government of Japan through MMDA

Resolution No.04-03
y LGC 1997 and PD 1566 mandated all LGUs, government

agencies with participation of the private sector to

enhance their respective capacities to prevent,
prepare for, and respond effectively to disaster
situations.

Metro Manila Earthquake Impact

Reduction Study (MMEIRS) Findings
Possibility of 7.2 Magnitude earthquake occurring along the
Fault on the Eastern part of Metropolitan Manila.
Another scenario is a strong earthquake at Manila Bay capable
of generating a 2-meter high tsunami affecting the western
coastline of Metro Manila
Effect is characterized by strong ground shaking (Intensity 8 &
9) along most parts of Metro Manila, Liquefaction, and
Landslides causing severe damage to buildings (mostly
residential), thousands of deaths and injuries, disruption of
lifelines and services, and widespread fires

RISK ANALYSIS MAP

The Metro Manila
Area was divided into
square grids for
purposes of the
studys damage
estimation.
Each grid represents
an area of about
250,000 square
meters.

WAY FORWARD
y Rehabilitation and Recovery of Metro Manila
{

The imperative to rebuild Metropolitan Manila after a disaster places

an extraordinary responsibility upon the MMDA, the LGUs, other
government agencies, and the communities to respond to the
challenge of rehabilitation with a great sense of urgency and
sensitivity.

A Master Plan has to be crafted to pursue rehabilitation and

reconstruction with emphasis on the empowering process of
communities.

It is the role of the communities in making informed choice for

recovery and rehabilitation through the dissemination of
information, technology, and best practices.

It is better to plan when

it is not needed, than not
to have planned when it
was necessary.
