Location
Location
The Mercedarian campus is located at G0 Domingo de Ramos, Barangay Greater Lagro, Novaliches, Quezon City, Metro Manila.
Risk Assessment
The Mercedarian School is approximately 5.8 km northwest of the West Valley Fault system, making it susceptible to the "Big One" wherein the estimated damages fall under intensity VIII. This would affect all of Metro Manila, with the Mercedarian being no exception.
Furthermore, it is located downslope from the La Mesa Dam; should this be damaged during an earthquake, the school would be affected by any possible flooding.
Needs Assessment
The Department of Education requires all schools to conduct a seminar regarding this Earthquakes and its hazards. Furthermore, due to the hectic schedule of blended learning, as well as the student's recent return from an extended quarantine, Sir Raymund Gubat—the school's vice principal and student activity coordinator—expressed his concerns with the community's current knowledge on disaster preparedness.
