Guidelines and Implementing Rules on Earthquake Recording Instrumentation for Buildings
The "Guidelines and Implementing Rules on Earthquake Recording Instrumentation for Buildings," issued by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), provide detailed specifications for the installation and use of earthquake recording instruments in buildings, as outlined in Section 105.2 of the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2010, Volume 1, 6th Edition (NSCP 2010). These guidelines aim to enhance seismic monitoring by detailing the types of instruments required, their placement within structures, and the procedures for data acquisition and reporting. The objective is to improve building safety and resilience by ensuring accurate recording of seismic activities, thereby aiding in the assessment and mitigation of earthquake impacts on structures.
Citizen's Charters
A Citizen's Charter is an official document that outlines the services provided by a government agency or local government unit (LGU), detailing the step-by-step procedures, requirements, processing times, and fees involved. In Metro Manila, various LGUs have developed their own Citizen's Charters to promote transparency and efficiency. The Citizen's Charter covers the requirements for Earthquake Recording Instrumentation (ERI).
Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is a government agency under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) responsible for monitoring and studying earthquakes, volcanic activity, and other geotectonic phenomena in athe Philippines. Its mission is to reduce the risks posed by natural hazards through accurate data, timely warnings, and public education. PHIVOLCS plays a vital role in national disaster preparedness by providing scientific information, developing hazard maps, and operating monitoring systems across the archipelago. Through tools like the FaultFinder (available as a web or an Android App) and its nationwide seismic network, PHIVOLCS helps communities, engineers, and decision-makers build a safer and more resilient Philippines.
