This fault can generate an earthquake with a magnitude” of 6.2 that may result to a very destructive ground shaking, with intensity” Vill'on the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS)*, in the epicentral area. The WVF is approximately 100-km-long and transects portions of Quezon City, Marikina City, Pasig City, Makati city, ‘Taguig City, Muntinlupa City, and the provinces of Bulacan (Donia Remedios Trinidad, Norzagaray and San Jose Del Monte City), Riral (Rodrigues), Lneuna (San Bedea City, Bian City, Sta. Roca ‘city, Cabuyao City and Calamba City) and Cavite (Carmona, General Mariano Alvarez and Silang). This fault can generate an ‘earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 that may result to a very destructive ground shaking, with intensity Vill on the PEIS, in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. ‘Movement along the VES can result to around rupture® that may be damaging to buildings and structures built directly above ‘the active fault. The minimum distance, or the zone of avoidance, recommended by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and ‘Seismology ~ Department of Science and Technology (PHIVOLCS- DOST) against ground rupture hazard is at least 5 meters from both sides of the active fault or from the edge of the deformation zone®. At present, there is no engineering design available to “withstand ground rupture. Hence, these areas may be developed as recreational spaces, such as parks, parking spaces and playgrounds or built with low-occupancy structures”. impacts of other earthquake hazards (ground shaking, liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslides and tsunami) can be reduced by proper engineering designs and mitigating measures. PHIVOLCS has been studying the VFS since the 1990s and published maps in 2000, in the following map. scales: 1:10,000 for Metro Manila and 1:50,000 for nearby provinces. In 2012, PHIVOLCS revisited the VFS as part of the project entitled, “Enhancing Greater Metro Manila Areas (GMMA) Institutional Capacities for effective Disaster/Climate Risk Management towards Sustainable Development”, or the GMMA-READY Project, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and. the Australian Ald Program (AusAld). The result of this endeavor Is presented in ths atlas that provides more detailed information about the VFS. It can be used for land-use planning, engineering and ‘onstruction, scientific research, disaster risk reduction and mitigation programs, and other activities geared towards the promotion of safer and more resilient communities, This atlas contains 33 map sheets of varying scales, arranged from north to south, showing areas transected by the VFS. For Metro Manila, It uses 1:5,000 scale maps (22 map sheets), while for Laguna and Cavite, 1:10,000 (10 map sheets), ‘and Bulacan, 1:50,000 (1 map sheet) scale maps were used. In addition, this atlas shows fissures" that are manifestation fof ground subsidence, These are largely observed from 1990 to 12000 in Taguig City, Muntinlupa city, San Pedro City, Bifian City ‘and Carmona. They were attributed to massive groundwater extraction and are not potential sources of earthquakes. PHIVOLCS adopts the following convention to represent the location of the active faults and fissures: Active faults — rr ‘solid tine: active fault with clear surface manifestation of displacement identified in aerial photographs; some of this surface manifestation may not be observable on the ground at present due to land modification; hachures indicate the downthrovn area or the side that moved dow relative co the aejacent area; Orange solid fine: active fault coincides with fissure; hhachures indicate the downthrown area Dashed line: active fault whose location ie approximate, ‘usually due to ground modifications produced by human activities; » 7 re =F : Q Ce pS & = oO NN < |- ° i ill tel) 5 (ue 7 OP | iP Ze bal 4 E | i. eee . : ) 1West Valley Fault inWest Valley Fault inMakati City and Taguig City vcore 3230 122A Ea 1:5,000 ‘Steyr Tapy slWest Valley Fault in ase mas sre! apo an ease ‘peo tote te op 3, Incanto 00 ote
