Earthquakes don’t kill. Unsafe structures do. That’s one lesson Filipinos can draw from the recent magnitude-7 quake that devastated Haiti.
A recent study at Columbia University found that the Philippines has the biggest number of schoolchildren at risk from earthquakes.
According to the study, the Philippines has 15.6 million school-age children in earthquake zones, the highest exposure it cited. I doubt the Department of Education is even aware of this.
