90 km SE of Sarangani, Philippines — 11 people reported feeling this earthquake — CDI 4.2 (Light)

Geographic Context

This earthquake event occurred near Glan (approximately 144 km away) in Philippines, situated within the Philippine Mobile Belt, one of the most geologically active regions on Earth.

Event Assessment

This event is a strong earthquake of magnitude 6.0, powerful enough to cause significant structural damage in the epicentral region. The hypocenter was located at a depth of 100 km. Calamity.live has classified it as "high" severity with a severity value of 60. The computed Calamity Score is 28 out of 100, suggesting contained impact at this time. The primary scoring components are: historical (80), intensity (40), cascading (19). Data for this event was sourced from usgs_dyfi, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.

Regional Monitoring Context

Philippines has a documented history of earthquake events. Seismic monitoring in the region draws on data from multiple agencies including USGS, EMSC, and regional networks. Understanding local seismicity helps emergency management agencies plan for potential future events and assess building code adequacy. Earthquake hazard in any region depends on fault proximity, soil conditions, and building vulnerability — factors that can vary significantly even within a single metropolitan area.

Cascade Risk Analysis

This event may trigger secondary hazards through cascade effects. Cascade detection is an automated process that evaluates how primary disasters can trigger secondary events — for example, earthquakes triggering landslides, or volcanic eruptions causing lahars and pyroclastic flows. These secondary hazards can sometimes pose a greater threat than the initial event, particularly in mountainous terrain or densely populated areas.

Safety Information

If you feel shaking: Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Move away from windows, heavy objects, and exterior walls. After shaking stops, check for injuries and structural damage. Be prepared for aftershocks, which can occur minutes to months after the mainshock. Follow instructions from local emergency management authorities.
