00:00To have muscle memory, this is the goal of PHIVOLG in repeatedly giving information to the public and to government agencies

00:11up to the correctness of the pulse.

00:14According to PHIVOLG Science Research Specialist Nicole Jean Mercado,

00:18it is important to have a natural response, especially when no one knows when the pulse will occur.

00:26At the same time, with the help of the simulator, the agency is able to show and feel the scenario when there is a strong pulse.

00:35Anya, every place in the country is considered the big one.

00:39And in Metro Manila, there are two scenarios that are being looked at.

00:43This is the magnitude 7.2 earthquake due to the West Valley Fault

00:48and magnitude 8.2 earthquake due to the Manila Trench that has a tsunami.

00:54PHIVOLG has emphasized that it is important to be prepared when the pulse occurs.

01:02For example, we repeatedly promote the Dock Over and Hold

01:06so that people know that this is what they will be saved from during the earthquake.

01:11The Dock Over and Hold is what we teach about earthquake preparedness.

01:15For example, check your houses if there are any damage.

01:21This is proven and tested.

01:23These are the measures that we need to take before the pulse occurs or during the earthquake.
