Why this page is in Filipino

On the Tagalog results for paghahanda sa lindol, read on 23 September 2026, page one is UNICEF Philippines, then a machine translation of a Japanese guide, then Twinkl, a UK worksheet company, then a Scribd upload, a Facebook video, and the Office of Emergency Management of Santa Clara County, California, which serves Filipino-language earthquake safety to its diaspora. PHIVOLCS is absent from that page entirely. A California county is serving Filipino speakers on earthquakes better than the Philippine agency that owns the subject.

Nothing here is translated from the English elsewhere on this site. A translation would carry this site name under it rather than an agency name, and that is the one thing a preparedness sheet cannot afford.

Source: UNICEF Philippines, Emergency preparedness tips: earthquakes. Read 23 September 2026. UNICEF publishes this page in Filipino. The lines below are its wording, grouped as it groups them. Nothing here is translated, for the same reason as the typhoon sheet: a translation of the English on this site would carry this site name under a safety instruction rather than an agency name.

The rest of this in English

The earthquake guide carries the PHIVOLCS intensity scale and the same before, during and after in English, with this Filipino section on it as well. The drill page sets out the six PHIVOLCS phases in English.

This is not an emergency service. Nobody watches it in real time and a reply can take days. If you or someone near you is in danger right now, stop and ring 911.
