MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – How do we prepare for the ‘Big One’?
On July 30, Metro Manila schools, establishments and local governments carried out one of the biggest earthquake drills ever held in the country’s capital region.
MovePH, Rappler’s civic engagement arm, partnered with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) for the metrowide earthquake drill, dubbed #MMshakedrill on social media. (READ: FAQ: What’s #MMShakeDrill and how can you participate?)
Rappler livestreamed the earthquake drill starting at 10:00 AM using live video feeds from the MMDA.

MovePH also helped in crowdsourcing earthquake drill efforts and initiatives from the public, the government, and the private sector. These were plotted on the Project Agos Alert Map, which already incorporated the MMDA’s hazard maps for Metro Manila.

The crowdsourced information gives disaster management agencies, responders, and risk reduction advocates insights on how to simulate preparedness efforts and how the public responds.
Images and reports can be shared on your social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter.
