• OBJECTIVES
1. Identify various potential earthquake hazards,
2. Discuss the effects of different earthquake hazards, and
3. Apply precautionary and safety measure before, during
and after an earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE- THE PERCEPTIBLE SHAKING OF THE SURFACE OF
THE EARTH RESULTING FROM THE SUDDEN RELEASE OF ENERGY
IN THE EARTH CRUST THAT CREATE SEISMIC WAVES.
Results of Potential Earthquake Hazards
1. Ground Shaking/Motion
2. Ground/ Surface Rupture
3. Liquefaction
4. Induced Ground Subsidence and Lateral Spreading
5. Tsunami
6. Induced Landslides
WHAT TO DO BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE
*Before an Earthquake
-Engage yourself in training activities that promote safety and disaster
preparedness.
-Participate in government-initiated earthquake drills and evacuation drills.
-Participate in training on emergency response skills.
