Phivolcs Valley Fault System Atlas

[111prez]

You can download the whole atlas here: High resolution West Valley Fault maps launched

It is 7 parts and 275mb large

Time to check if your area is along a fault line

[chronicle]

Kamusta naman ang resale value nang mga lupa malapit sa fault?

[jut703]

Assuming you find out your house is right on the fault line. What can you do?

Not everyone can afford to move house that easily. Heck, some people still have decades worth of mortgage to pay off.

[Altis6453]

I think PHIVOLCS is trying to warn developers and would-be buyers against putting up new residential developments right along the fault.

For those who already have their houses there, I doubt if it's easy to just move, especially if you're still paying for a mortgage. Siguro vigilance and preparation nalang if the BIG ONE hits.

[Ry_Tower]

Sa totoo lang matagal nang alam naman nang mga tao dyan na nasa fault line sila eh. I remember nung college biruan na yung likod nang ADMU, Brgy. Bangkal, yun mismo ang faultline yung daanan na pababa sa likod.

Huwag na lang talaga magpatayo nang sobrang taas na establishment. Tsaka i-improve na lang siguro stuctural integriy nung existing building.

^ nung 90's pa nun naghahanap kami ng lilipatan ang office namin
isa sa kino-consider was BGC pero may isang engineer na nagsabi na kasama BGC sa Fault line kaya tinanggal yun BGC sa options

[kai s.]

Paano nga kung yung office mo directly sa faultline? Di ka rin naman aalis dahil dun sa risk, lalo na kung okay yung trabaho mo. Siguro disaster preparedness lang talaga like having an emergency kit (food, water, cash in small billa and coins, change of clothes, first aid kit, flashlight, etc etc).

well, the experts gave a timeline of anytime between this afternoon and 2215..
and the late dr punongbayan of philvolcs said it best... "when nature does its thing, the most we can do is get out of its way.."

i was told, all we have to do is avoid setting up house on the fault line.. a few meters away from it and we will "be fine". just make sure your house is designed to resist break-up during the 'quake..

i remember when this faultline thingee was first announced... some houses in the affected exclusive villages along the fault line, went on sale at "cheap prices".

Kasama pala libis. I wonder if the buildings in eastwood considered a 7 magnitude earthquake sa designs nila. Not sure what is worse abutan ng earthquake sa top floors or get stuck with your car sa 5th level basement. Katakot.

...top floors is better.. they'll dig up your remains earlier than those in the basement..
haha.

+ canlubang's nuvali.

[111prez]

+ canlubang's nuvali.

From the map, the fault line appears to be on the area between the Mansions and Canlubang Golf Course.

Way beyond the 5 meter recommended distance from the fault for all of Nuvali's villages

But still, a mega quake will affect all of us, directly or indirectly

once we're invited for a party, a condo somewhere in BGC. guests are ushered to park their cars to the bottom end of the basement parking. (i found most of the buildings at BGC have relatively small/tight floor area).
lintek kung hindi ako nagkakamali i parked my car 9 floors below the ground! hindi ako claustrophobic but i cannot recall how fast i managed to get out of the building that time when i get my car to leave.
basta ang tanda ko umiiyak ang mga gulong ko habang papaakyat sa ground level, ewan ko lang kung makikita pa ako kung sakaling lumindol at mag-collapse yung building na iyon.

but they'll be able to identify your sorry carcass, even if badly decomposed, because of the plate number on the car you were crushed in..
haha.
more ghoulish humor.

ang ayoko sa basement of basements parking.. hindi nila ini-aircon! pa-init nang pa-init habang bumababa... parang palapit nang palapit na sa hades.. or is it because the building's giant engines for gensets and aircons and water pumps are there..?
yung car ko tuloy, after the party.. napaka-init sa loob!

[gundam]

Paano ba kasing nakakakuha ng building permit ang mga building dyan?

i just can't imagine how being trapped and die under that deep black hole

imho, buildings built during the 90s can withstand earthquakes to 8.0 magnitude.
ang problema is pag mas malakas dun.

ang makes me also curious.....hindi ba alam ng mga developers like the one in libis na nasa fault sila?

Sadly some developers are in denial and are all about the profits. I was a part of the geologists who mapped the VFS. In 2008 a big developer (whose owners have a popular district named after them) in Cavite blocked our path with a truckload of armed guards and threatened to charge us with trespassing. There is a popular mall in Muntinlupa which straddles the VFS. How they got the permit to build? One can also ask how they managed to cut down those pine trees up north without raising a fuss.

This drive for awareness will earn the ire of many developers but could save countless of lives in the future
