This map shows fault lines and earthquake risk areas in Mountain Province. Red zones are very near active faults and have the highest risk. Areas like Sabangan, Bauko, Sadanga, and parts of Barlig are more exposed. Fault lines such as the Abra, Ambuklao, Hapao, Dacalan, Chico River, and Santiago segments affect the province. Knowing your location helps in safer building, planning, and earthquake preparedness. Remember: earthquakes canโt be predicted, but being ready saves lives.

Fault lines are fractures in the Earthโs crust where movement has occurred. When these faults move, they can cause earthquakes.

The map uses colors to show how close an area is to an active fault line โ the nearer you are, the higher the risk during an earthquake.
Color Risk Level Meaning
๐ด Red Very High Very close to an active fault
๐ Orange High Near the fault
๐ก Yellow Moderate Some distance away
๐ข Light Green Low Farther from fault
๐ฉ Dark Green Very Low Farthest from fault
