Philippines faces frequent earthquakes due to its location on the Ring of Fire

The Philippines is the ninth most earthquake-prone country globally, highlighting the critical need for preparedness. Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic activity due to colliding tectonic plates, averaging 20 to 30 earthquakes daily. This constant seismic threat necessitates preparedness measures to mitigate the destructive effects of ground shaking, liquefaction, ground rupture, landslides, and potential tsunamis.
