| Abstract | "Based on the Metro Mania Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS), a segment of west fault (WVF) is traversing at the eastern part of Makati City Which affects six Barangays namely, West Rembo, Comembo, Pemb, Rizal and Post Proper Southside. Accordingly, whenever this fault zone moves, it may generate a 7.2 magnitude earthquake which would cause a total of 2,300 deaths (0.5 percent of the total population and 7,500 injuries. In addition, based on estimates from the same study, 9,200 residential buildings or 18 percent of the total building stock in Makati City would be heavily damaged while around 16,500 or 33 percent would be partially destroyed. The estimated loss of life and damage to properties of a 7.2 magnitude earthquake will vary from barangay to barangay on the level of risk. Hence, this study sought to develop a tool to evaluate the level of Earthquake Disaster Risk (EDR) of each of the 33barangays of Makati City in relation to three contributing factors namely, hazard, Exposure, and Vulnerability. The tool treats three factors that are calculated using the general formula of risk employed by UNDP (Risk=hazard x exposure x vulnerability). The formula was applied to provide a meaningful characterization of the different stages of risk, suitable fractile classification under an assumed Beta probability distribution, which is generally skewed and takes values within the interval (0, 1). Based on the calculations and analyses done, earthquake hazard is consistently high in all barangays compared with the two other factors and it greatly influenced the assessed level of the overall EDR. This reflects the presence of presence of four major earthquake hazards in the City particular the fault zone. Similarly, the Exposure factor is also assessed to be high. In general, the barangays in terms of land area, population, and economy (Bel-Air, Post Proper Southside, and San Lorenzo), have a higher level of exposure compared with the smaller ones (Carmona |
