ALAMIN: Narito ang mga maaaring pagmulan ng lindol.
Ang Pilipinas ay isang "seismically active country" dahil sa geographical location nito. Matatagpuan ang ating bansa sa Pacific Ring of Fire, kaya mataas ang posibilidad ng paglindol at iba pang panganib na may kaugnayan sa aktibidad ng mga bulkan. Tinatayang may humigit-kumulang 300 bulkan sa bansa, kung saan 24 ang aktibo.
Maaari namang mangyari ang lindol dahil sa paggalaw ng mga fault at trench, o dulot ng aktibidad ng bulkan.
Ayon sa PHIVOLCS, ang tinatawag na "The Big One" ay hindi lamang maaaring mangyari sa Metro Manila. Maaari itong maganap sa iba't ibang bahagi ng bansa dahil sa maraming earthquake generators na nakapaligid at matatagpuan sa loob ng Pilipinas.
Inaanyayahan ang lahat na makiisa sa Fourth Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) sa Nobyembre 5, 2026, sa ganap na alas-9:00 ng umaga upang matutuhan ang mga tamang hakbang sa oras ng lindol.
Magsisimula ang programa ng NSED sa alas-8:00 ng umaga, na susundan ng ceremonial pressing of the button sa ganap na alas-9:00 ng umaga bilang hudyat ng pagsasagawa ng Duck, Cover, and Hold at evacuation drill.
Bilang bahagi ng earthquake drill at pakikiisa sa World Tsunami Awareness Day, isasagawa rin ang full-scale exercise on earthquake-tsunami scenario sa Cagayan Valley, na magsisilbing pangunahing ceremonial site ng NSED.
