A family in Masbate province were left trapped when their house collapsed. There's no threat of a tsunami but authorities aren't warning people to prepare for aftershocks. On the next news, there is Ana to deliver a message about commonly used methods of reducing earthquake risks... Anna?

Yes, Rob. Thank you! Good morning everyone here is some methods for us to let us know are some ways to prevent or reduce the risks of an earthquake.

1. Effective recording and interpretation of ground motion.

This assists in providing alerts and warnings especially to

high-risk or vulnerable areas for preparation and emergency response.

2. Constructing seismic hazard maps.

It serves as basis for disaster management information like

locations for evacuation and evacuation 9routes. The anticipated intensity of ground shaking is represented by a number called the

peak acceleration or the peak velocity.

3. Developing resistant structures.

Resistant structures are able to withstand collapse by redistributingforces caused by seismic waves through shear walls. Developingengineered structural designs that are able to resist the forcesgenerated by seismic waves can be achieved either by following buildingcodes based on hazard maps or by appropriate methods of analysis.

That's all for today. I hope you've learned something new and perform it to your life to be prepared and stay

clear from danger and disasters. Always remember,

Faith without work is dead. God Bless you all!

I have learned many things, ways and methods Mom. Thank God that he gave us more knowledge about earthquake and methods to reduceits risks.

That's it, did you learned something today Angel? The news reporter mentioned some methods for us to use to reduce earthquake risks and knowing it is very significant in our life.

Okay Mom. Thanks for all the lessons today! We should eat, I'm already hungry.

You are right angel that is why we need to appreciate the value of knowing earthquake hazards and risk reduction. For now, we should eat and do our tasks for today.
