    The Big One:: What Has Been Done To Prepare For The Inevitable?

    Uploaded by

    Anthony Castillo
    The document discusses preparations for a major earthquake ("The Big One") predicted to occur along the West Valley Fault line in Metro Manila, Philippines. It would potentially impact at least 7.2 million people. Preparations discussed include strengthening infrastructure, public education campaigns, and household and school emergency plans. Gaps remain in fully implementing building codes and educating the public. Experts call for continued training, equipment, and awareness programs to increase readiness at national, local, and household levels for when the earthquake inevitably occurs.
