A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit Burdeos, Quezon at 7:14pm Saturday. The center of the quake was at 15 kilometers northwest of Burdeos and had a depth of 34 kilometers.
After an earthquake:
- Expect aftershocks hours, days, or weeks after the main quake. Aftershocks can cause building damage and falling debris that could injure you.
- Avoid open flames in damaged buildings. Earthquakes can damage gas lines, so don’t use lighters or matches.
- If you live near the coast, stay away from the beach. Earthquakes can cause dangerous tsunamis and flooding.
- Drive carefully and plan alternative routes. Structural damage and traffic light outages may make it difficult to get to your destination.
