GENERAL 1d Study Outline Outline ofthe Study i as follows: ‘Study Title: Study for Earthquake Impact Reduction for Metropolitan Manila in the Republic of the Philippines (MMEIRS) Implementation Agency: Japan International Cooperation Agency Counterpart Agency: Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) Study Period: From August 2002 to March 2004 1.2 Background and Contents of the Study Metropolitan Manila, composed of 13 cities and 4 municipalities by its administrative boundaries, is ‘he political, economic, and cultural center ofthe Philippines. The population of Metropolitan Manila js approximately 10 million at present and it is now one of the most densely populated areas in Southeast Asia.

Among these faults, the Valley Faule System, which transects the study area, is considered to potentially cause the largest impact to the Metropolitan ‘Manila area should it generate a large earthquake. Many research studies indicate that active phases of the Valley Faults are approaching and the estimated magnitude will be around 7 or more. In order to manage a potential earthquake disaster in Manila, itis necessary to prepare an earthquake disaster mitigation plan, and to start actions as soon as possible. The objectives of the Study are: 1) to formulate a master plan for earthquake impact reduction for Metropolitan Manila in the Republic of the Philippines, and 2) to carry out technology transfer to Philippine counterpart personnel of MMDA and PHIVOLCS in the course of the Study. Major contents ofthe Study are: 1) existing data collection fing and infrastructure survey, and evaluation, 2) geological survey, 3) social condition survey, 4) B 4) important public facilities survey and dangerous material treatment facilities survey, 6) IS database development, 7) production of 1:5,000 scale digital topographic maps, 8) analysis of earthquake ground motion and hazards, 9) earthquzke damage estimation, 10) preparation of disester management plan for Metropolitan Mania, and {1) eommunity based disaster management activities, 2 EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE SCENARIO 2.1 Scenario Earthquake ‘Analyzing past historically recorded earthquakes and instrumentally recorded earthquakes, a total 18 earthquakes were selected as scenario eaithquakes, winich have potential damaging effect to Crnated with - @ nitro” professional onalcaelthefnte i eolineat op
