Ang intensity ay tumutukoy sa lakas ng lindol ayon sa naramdaman ng tao at epekto ng pagyanig sa istruktura at kapaligiran. Upang malaman ang intensity ng lindol sa isang lugar ginagamit ang PHIVOLCS Intensity Scale o PEIS.
Samantala, muling inaanyayahan ang lahat na makiisa sa Fourth Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED), mamaya, alas dos ng hapon. Magsisimula ang programa ng ala una.
Mapapanood ang live stream ng NSED sa Civil Defense PH page.

No one is left behind.

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Manila, with its campuses, participated in the 3rd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
This nationwide event, spearheaded by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) through the PUP-Disaster Resilience Institute (DRI), and volunteers from the PUP Red Cross Youth Council aimed to enhance awareness and preparedness among PUP employees and students for potential earthquake scenarios.

A notice from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has been issued regarding the presence of Volcanic Smog around Taal Volcano. Consequently, the affected communities, including Metro Manila, are currently experiencing air of low quality.

To avoid throat irritation or discomfort when breathing, it is advisable for everyone to steer clear of outdoor activities, wear face masks, and drink plenty of water to prevent throat irritation.

Ingat, PUPians!
