LEGAZPI CITY, Feb. 7 (PIA) -- An earthquake with intensity 3 jolted this city while an intensity 2 rocked Sorsogon City yesterday morning, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said. | |||
Phivolcs instruments recorded the earthquake at about 11:49 a.m. Monday with a magnitude of 6.9 at the Richter scale with epicenter in Tayasan, Negros Oriental. | |||
Ed Laguerta, Phivolcs resident volcanologist here, said instruments located the earthquake at 9.97 degrees North, 123.14 degrees east or 5 km North, 41 degrees West of Tayasan, Negros Oriental, with depth of 10 km. | |||
The agency said the earthquake was of Tectonic origin, meaning the quake was triggered by the deformation of earth crust. | |||
Albay Gov. Joey Salceda has issued an advisory to local disaster council in towns and cities along western seaboards to be on heightened alert for possible tsunami occurrence in the wake of Phivolcs Tsunami alert following the earthquake. | |||
The tsunami advisory warned residents living in shorelines, river banks, and low lying areas to be on alert. | |||
The governor however lifted the tsunami alert advisory a couple of hours later after receiving a Phivolcs bulletin and National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) lowering tsunami alert status also Monday afternoon. | |||
No evacuation was effected in the province, while no damage was reported. (MAL/MSA, ALbay) | |||
