<p>What's up with people, mostly not living in the <a href="/tags/philippines/" rel="tag">#Philippines</a>, talking about how the State should be proactive and not reactive to <a href="/tags/earthquakes/" rel="tag">#earthquakes</a>? Some even made it clear that the State should invest in predictions, we can predict <a href="/tags/quakes/" rel="tag">#quakes</a> now? 🤦🏽</p>
<p>Some people in various SNS talked about how the <a href="/tags/philippines/" rel="tag">#Philippines</a> should be "proactive" in <a href="/tags/earthquakes/" rel="tag">#earthquakes</a> instead of "reactive". A few even said that we should invest in <a href="/tags/quake/" rel="tag">#quake</a> prediction.</p><p>We can predict earthquakes now?</p><p>And how can one become "proactive" with a natural calamity that no one can predict? The best we can do is warn people within 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 seconds (depending on distance from the epicenter). The rest are in the areas of preparedness, updating building codes, and implementation of said building codes (which includes ending corruption, shortcuts, and improving inspections).</p><p>Are there other ways to be proactive with earthquakes?</p><p>Documenting fault lines? I think our Filipino scientists are doing well on that. And there's nothing anyone can do with new fault lines like in the 1990 and 2018(?) Central Luzon quakes.</p><p>In one report earlier this morning, the Cebu fault line under the sea is currently suspected to have been very quiet for more than 400 years, hence, it was undetected (other than the fact it's under the sea).</p><p>So, what am I missing with these "proactive and not reactive" arguments abiut earthquakes in the Philippines?</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@pilipinas" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pilipinas</span></a></span></p>
