1.1. Introduction
There are many hazards/ risks posed by earthquakes. In this study, the
researchers will discuss the hazards posed by earthquakes and the possible
way on how to reduce it.
Nowadays disaster risk get worse due to the underlying effect of global
warming. The danger of earthquake with greater magnitude increases.
Despite of the advancement in media technology; the destruction caused by
phenomenon such as earthquake is still unfathomable. As a general problem,
the researchers seek to answer the problem regarding community based
awareness and preparedness in Marikina about earthquake risk.
The researches also seek to evaluate such specific questions which as
follow:
1.4. Hypothesis
The researchers expect that from this study, we would learn how
prepared/aware the respondents are in case an earthquake occurs. The
researchers will then propose an activity to boost the awareness of the
respondents and will show them what they should do when an earthquake
strikes. By doing so, respondents will attain higher level and degree of
preparedness and awareness in terms of earthquake risks. Thus, the
reductions of earthquake risk are highly manageable.
This study will aim to know the awareness and preparedness of the
people in Marikina about the hazards of living near the Marikina Valley
Fault Line.
This will help the residents to reduce the risk of earthquake destruction.
They will be having more knowledge on when an earthquake strikes and
after the earthquake.
This study focuses on having a specific area near the Marikina fault
line as our probable location. We shall have residents here as our
respondents. We shall concentrate only in the awareness and
preparedness of the residents and to come up with some possible
solutions through mitigation and prevention program, to manage and to
reduce the risks that may dwell when an earthquake strikes.
