She said communities concerned must prepare accordingly since there are several earthquake generators in Lanao del Sur. “People need not panic when earthquakes and aftershocks strike but must either duck, cover and hold or calmly exit buildings,” she said.

She also advised the public to either remain in open areas during earthquakes or head to these places after exiting buildings.
