Metro Manila unprepared for big quake
MANILA, Philippines - Natural disasters such as strong earthquakes, not social unrest or military coups, now pose the biggest threats to business continuity in Metro Manila, and the country is not prepared to deal with the threat, according to a leading business risk consultancy.
In a report for its clients and made available to The STAR, Pacific Strategies and Assessments (PSA) said Metro Manila, with its population of 11 million which rises to approximately 14 million during work hours, will likely be thrown into a state of chaos following a major earthquake event and businesses would simply not be able to sustain operations.
