Six Local Government Units (LGUs) received its Specific Earthquake Response Atlases from the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) to be used for decision-making in building safer structures and facilities, and for strengthening disaster resiliency of the respective communities. 

Each atlas is a compilation of maps that provides information on the characteristics of the subsurface soil and rock layers in the study areas or LGUs and the resulting site response to a specific earthquake ground motion. This can serve as a guide in seismic load design to increase the resiliency of buildings and infrastructures in the event of a large earthquake.

These atlases can be a significant reference for LGUs as well as by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to appropriately design earthquake-resilient government infrastructures, residential houses, and medium-to-high rise buildings in Pangasinan, Tarlac, Metro Iloilo-Guimaras, Cauayan City, Butuan City, and Mati City.
