The Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) launched and distributed the Valley Fault System (VFS) Atlas to local government officials recently at the PHIVOLCS office in Diliman, Quezon City.

The Valley Fault System (VFS) Atlas is a handbook of large scale maps showing in detail areas traversed by the Valley Fault System, an active fault system in the Greater Metro Manila Area (GMMA). The fault system has two fault traces: the 10 km long East Valley Fault in Rizal and the 100 km long West Valley Fault that runs through different cities and towns in Bulacan, Rizal, Metro Manila, Cavite and Laguna. The West Valley Fault can generate a large earthquake which poses threat to people’s lives, buildings, infrastructure, and livelihood.
