Is your house ready for a strong earthquake?

To help owners of concrete hollow block (CHB) houses answer this question, the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) in partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), launched a 12-point questionnaire last February 19 at the PHIVOLCS Auditorium in Quezon City.

The questionnaire is designed to guide homewners in assessing whether their homes are strong enough to withstand a major earthquake.
