BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Hazard Maps are maps that appear distinctive dangers that will influence a certain
zone. For seismic tremors, a ground shaking danger outline appears the conveyance of seismic
tremor shaking levels that have a certain likelihood of happening. A ground break danger
outline appears regions wherein issues cut over. There are risk maps for liquefaction, seismic
tremor-initiated avalanche, and tidal wave

B. Map is the Ground shaking hazard map for Quezon City. As discussed earlier, if the
scenario is a Magnitude 7.2 earthquake, the map which is now color-coded shows
areas that will experience various Intensities from 6-9. (refer to the legend) 6. Using
the map A, locate where your community is. Find where the red line is, this
significies where the VFS is located. How far is your community from the fault. 7.

 Using map B, what is the likely intensity that your community will experience
during a Magnited 7.2 earthquake.

 ACTIVITY 2: MAP PA MORE?

Take-Home Activity - Learners submit a report a week after

PART I.
1. Learners to search the internet, go to PHIVOLCS site, refer to hazard maps to identify
the different hazards likely to affect their community. Use the following table to assess
the community’s exposure to hazard
PART II. Elements at risk
1. Using the provided Active Faults Map of your barangay, study the map carefully and its
legend.
2. Can you identify where the trace of the VFS is?
3. Identify major streets that you can recognize. Write the street name on the map.
4. Identify and mark the following on the map:
I. Barangay Hall
II. Village Clubhouse
III. Schools, Daycare Center
IV. Hospitals, Clinics,
V. Groceries, Markets
VI. Important infrastructures (bridges, gymnasium/ open or covered courts, etc)
VII.Water tanks; deep wells, Using the ruler or string, determine the distance of some
of these elements from the trace of the VFS nearest some elements at risk.
5. Take note if any of these identified elements on your map fall within any of the identified
hazard zones (ground shaking, liquefaction and earthquake induced landslide).
6. Are any of the identified elements at risk transected by the VFS? Take note of these.

REMEMBER
I. Concepts of Magnitude and Intensity
A. Magnitude of an earthquake refers to the amount of energy released, measured by the
amount of ground displacement or shaking. It is calculated based on record of the earthquake
(seismograph). It is represented by Arabic numbers (ex. 4.8, 9.0)
B. Intensity is the strength of an earthquake as perceived and felt by people in a certain locality.
It is a numerical rating based on relative effects to people, objects, environment and structures

7
in the surroundings. The intensity is generally higher near the epicenter. It is represented by
Roman Numerals (ex. II, IV, IX) .
II. Hazard Maps - People and properties are affected by earthquake due to any or a
combination of the following: unsafe location, poor construction, people don’t believe or know
that they be affected, people don’t know how they can be affected, people don’t know what to
do, and there is lack of timely and proper response.
Scientists have for so long studied earthquake occurrences and the hazards associated with
them by looking at impacts from major earthquakes. Based on studies, given a specific
earthquake scenario (magnitude) maps showing areas likely to be affected by a certain specific
hazard and the degree of expected impact are generated. The purpose is to be able to use these
maps.
A. As we learned in earlier modules, for earthquakes, there are at least 5 earthquake-
related hazards that one needs to consider: ground rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction,
earthquake-induced landslides and tsunami.
B. Hazard Maps are maps that show different hazards that may affect a certain area.
For earthquakes, a ground shaking hazard map shows the distribution of earthquake shaking
levels that have a certain probability of occurring. A ground rupture hazard map shows areas
wherein faults cut across. There are hazard maps for liquefaction, earthquake induced
landslide and tsunami.

III. These maps were generated to provide the most accurate and detailed information possible
to assist engineers in designing buildings, bridges, highways, and utilities that will withstand
shaking from earthquakes in an area. These maps are used by local governments to help
establish zoning, construction requirements necessary to preserve public safety and for
purposes of general planning for disaster risk reduction and mitigation.
Before using the map, be sure that you understand the basic parts-
A. Map Title (tells you what the map is all about);
B. Legend (details of what each symbols mean)
C. Scale (refer to the bar scale as this helps determine distances, etc)
