Mga dapat gawin kapag may lindol

Bago, habang at pagkatapos, sa sariling pananalita ng UNICEF Philippines. Isang papel lamang: i-print at idikit sa silid-aralan, barangay hall o sa pinto ng bahay.

By Hamza Rivera, updated

Short answer: This Filipino sheet gives before, during and after steps for a lindol, in UNICEF Philippines' wording with some lines from PHIVOLCS. During shaking, duck, cover and hold under a sturdy table. Outside, move to a safe place away from trees, power poles and walls. Near the sea, a strong lindol means going quickly to higher ground because a tsunami may follow.

Written for the Philippines. Isang papel lamang. Libre itong i-print at ipamigay.

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, except three lines marked (PHIVOLCS), which are PHIVOLCS’s own Filipino from its Gabay sa Paghahanda para sa Lindol (2015). They replace UNICEF lines that differed from PHIVOLCS: to stay where you are if outside, to head for one spot in the house, and to wait for an official tsunami advisory by the sea. PHIVOLCS’s tsunami page goes further: do not stay in low-lying coastal areas after any felt earthquake. UNICEF writes Drop, Cover and Hold; this sheet uses the PHIVOLCS term, Duck, Cover and Hold.

Bago

  • Suriin: Malapit ba kayo sa fault line? O maaari bang mag-landslide o mahagip ng tsunami ang inyong lugar?
  • Tiyakin na matibay ang pagkakagawa ng mga pader at poste ng bahay.
  • Ikabit sa pader ang mga mabibigat na furniture at gamit na maaaring bumagsak kapag lumilindol.
  • Alamin ang mga ligtas at hindi ligtas na lugar sa inyong bahay.
  • Ituro sa mga bata kung paano mag-Duck, Cover and Hold sa oras ng lindol.

Habang

  • Stay calm.
  • Magtago sa ilalim ng matibay na mesa at humawak sa paanan nito. (PHIVOLCS)
  • Ipakita sa mga bata ang dapat gawin para hindi sila matakot.
  • Huwag lumabas ng bahay habang lumilindol. Mag-Duck, Cover and Hold sa pinakaligtas na spot ng bahay hanggang tumigil ang pagyanig.
  • Lumayo sa mga salamin, bintana at mga bahay na maaaring bumagsak.
  • Kung nasa labas, pumunta sa isang ligtas na lugar. Lumayo sa mga puno, poste ng kuryente, pader at iba pang istruktura na maaaring bumagsak o matumba. (PHIVOLCS)

Pagkatapos

  • Pagkatapos ng lindol, stay calm at i-plano nang maigi ang ligtas na pag-evacuate ng pamilya.
  • Kapag ligtas nang lumabas, kunin ang emergency go-bag at mag-evacuate sa pinakamalapit na open area o evacuation area. Kung nasa loob ng building, iwasan ang paggamit ng elevator.
  • Umiwas sa mga tulay at matataas na gusali at structures na maaaring gumuho.
  • Maging alerto sa aftershocks, posibleng landslide at sunog.
  • Kung nasa tabing-dagat at nakaramdam ng malakas na lindol, mabilis na lumikas sa mas mataas na lugar. Maaaring magkaroon ng tsunami. (PHIVOLCS)
  • Kumustahin ang mga bata at pakinggan ang kanilang iniisip at nararamdaman pagkatapos ng lindol.

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.

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.
