The Philippine Government is being urged by the World Bank to “ramp up investments in disaster response programs” including the healthcare system to ensure readiness should a catastrophic event ever occur along the West Valley Fault. The World Bank is referring to the “The Big One” scenario where movement of the West Valley Fault causes a magnitude 7.2 earthquake. Based on a Metro Manila risk assessment an estimated 48,000 fatalities and $48 billion in economic losses might result from this event. The World Bank considers the West Valley Fault to be the one that “poses the most serious threat” out of all the other earthquake generators in the capital.
