HOW DO WE
PREPARE?
Deploy a user-friendly
earthquake hazard map
that identifies low-,
medium-, and high-
risk areas in BARMM.

MAGNITUDE
The magnitude is a
number that
characterizes the
relative size of an
earthquake. (USGS)
DEPTH
Depth or focal depth
refers to the depth
of an earthquake 
hypocenter. (USGS)
Majority of the earthquakes occur in Maguindanao,
Moro Gulf, Celebes Sea and the Sulu archipelago.
Majority of the earthquakes occur in Maguindanao,
Moro Gulf, Celebes Sea and the Sulu archipelago.
On average, BARMM experiences around 10 earthquakes per year.
But in 1999, 42 earthquakes were recorded, most of them are underwater.
MAGNITUDE
94% of earthquakes are between magnitude 4 and 5.
DEPTH
Events are segregated into thrust and deep earthquakes.

AKA, WHAT NOW?
Adapt earthquake hazard map.
Explore Open Bangsamoro database.
Conduct structural audit in
high- and mid-risk areas.
Continue funding and updating the
Open Bangsamoro database.
