IT ALL GOES DOWN ON JUNE 22. Let\u2019s all participate in this year\u2019s #MMShakeDrill. Photo grabbed from MMDA official website<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone is encouraged to participate in order to promote awareness. To help you cope with everything that will go down on that day, here are the things you should expect do when the alarm sounds for #MMShakeDrill:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Drop\/duck, cover, hold. <\/em>Remember these words, as they are the keys to saving your life during an earthquake, especially the projected 7.2-magnitude megaquake that will hit Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal, and Laguna if the West Valley Fault ever decides it\u2019s had enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

DROP, COVER, AND HOLD. Or Duck, Cover, and Hold. It doesn\u2019t matter which, just make sure you remember these. Images courtesy of earthquakecountry.info<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. It doesn\u2019t matter where you are. <\/em>Just perform the duck, cover, and hold maneuver for 45 seconds, and then make your way out of the building to a safe, open area in an orderly fashion. On the road? Stop the vehicle for one minute, unless you\u2019re on a flyover or a tunnel.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Traffic will be heavy<\/em>, so a little patience is needed. Make sure you\u2019re at work earlier than usual to avoid the traffic jams.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Public services will go as scheduled. <\/em>Don\u2019t worry about not being able to access public services. There won\u2019t be a half-day off during the drill, as it\u2019s designed to simulate an earthquake on a normal day.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Know your evacuation centers.<\/em> You won\u2019t need to go to them, but it\u2019s best if you know which quadrant you belong to as well as your respective evacuation center:<\/span><\/p>\n

a. North: Caloocan, Mandaluyong, Quezon City, San Juan, Valenzuela<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 UP Diliman, Three S Center, La Loma Cemetery, Pinaglabanan Shrine<\/span><\/p>\n

b. East: Marikina, Pasig<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Ultra Complex, Training Center at C. Raymundo St., Marikina Boys Town, Red Cross Compound Marikina, Marikina City Hall<\/span><\/p>\n

c. South: Las Pi\u00f1as, Makati, Muntinlupa, Para\u00f1aque, Pasay, Pateros, Taguig<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 University of Makati Complex, Near Garden of Memories Cemetery, Cayetano Science High School, Para\u00f1aque City Hall, Sucat Posadas in Muntinlupa, Filinvest MTB Trail, Sunken Garden at Gen. Paulino Santos Ave.<\/span><\/p>\n

d. West: Manila, Malabon, Navotas<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Cuneta Astrodome, University of Sto. Tomas, Ampitheater near Malabon City Hall<\/span><\/p>\n

6. It all goes down at 9 a.m.<\/em> Radio stations will sound the earthquake alarm signaling the start of the drill. Businesses, churches, schools, and other institutions may sound their own alarms or bells. Make sure you\u2019re prepared once the alarm goes off if you\u2019re participating.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Take the drill seriously.<\/em> It\u2019s meant to help you in the likelihood of the \u201cBig One\u201d happening. If you take it lightly, chances are you won\u2019t know what to do if and when the \u201cBig One\u201d hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The #MMShakeDrill is organized by the Metro Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MMDRRMC) and managed by the MMDA to promote awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n
