RESEARCH RATIONALE
• Metro Davao is the leading
metropolitan area in Mindanao
• Metro Davao has a population of 2.5
million (2015 census), rapidly
developing
• The need for more industrial,
commercial and residential buildings
will consequently arise.
• If construction is not properly guided
by appropriate seismic data, this can
lead to an increase in vulnerability of
Metro Davao to earthquake hazards.
ACTIVE FAULTS IN DAVAO REGION
PHIVOLCS FaultFinder App
The PHIVOLCS FaultFinder, is a web-based and mobile phone (android) application to locate the nearest active
fault from a specified location or the named barangay. This application facilitates easy access to quality data for
disaster preparedness, land use, risk assessment and in real-estate.

RESEARCH RATIONALE
• Knowledge of subsurface
structures underlying urban
regions is key to determine
site-specific earthquake motion
levels in urban regions
• For this study, variation of
shear wave velocity (Vs) in
geologic strata is used as a
parameter in evaluating
specific site effects
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
• To use non-conventional
methods in determining
site specific earthquake
ground motion levels
• Past researches
(conventional) used
intrusive methods,
wherein boreholes had to
be drilled and sensors
had to be lowered at
various depths to record
P-and S-wave velocity

SUMMARY
• The produced maps for all the cities and municipalities of metro
Davao have been compiled and published as the Metro Davao
