Phivolcs has issued a warning about a potential tsunami up to 5.5 meters high, citing movement along the Manila Trench. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology highlighted the risk during a briefing ahead of World Tsunami Awareness Day. The warning comes as part of ongoing efforts to raise public awareness about tsunami threats.
The agency emphasized the need for preparedness, urging residents to take precautions. The movement detected in the Manila Trench is considered significant enough to warrant a tsunami warning. Phivolcs has been actively promoting risk reduction strategies to mitigate the impact of such events.
The warning follows increased monitoring of seismic activity in the region. While no immediate danger has been confirmed, the potential for a tsunami remains a concern. The agency has been working to educate communities on how to respond in the event of a tsunami. This is part of a broader initiative to enhance disaster preparedness in the Philippines.
