Makati most ready vs disasters – Phivolcs

OWING to its aggressive efforts to be disaster-resilient, the city of Makati has been declared by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) as the most prepared city in Metro Manila (National capital Region or NCR) against geological hazards including earthquakes.

Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum Jr. made the assessment during the 10th Asian Seismological Commission (ASC) General Assembly at the Dusit Thani Manila recently where he also praised Makati for being the first to adopt earthquake-resiliency measures in its structures and establishments.
