We have conducted trainings, informal education and guidance for people on precautionary measures regarding earthquakes and other disasters. These moves have been implemented since September of last year. It has turned productive now that only two of our residents have been slightly injured,” Soriana said.

He explained that the disaster caused the evacuation of their homes, but most of the evacuees, especially those whose homes were severely damaged, moved the shelters to the homes of their relatives. Suriana said the risk assessment is still underway, noting that all areas affected by the earthquake have been reached.

Abdul-Mahari, the agency’s acting spokesman, said that the National Agency for Disaster Management and Mitigation advised residents in the quake-stricken areas to take precautionary measures as aftershocks hit several times with the highest strength of 5.7.

“As a precaution, residents are advised to stay away from cracked buildings or damaged buildings after the earthquake,” he said in a text message.
