The Metro Manila Earthquake Drill will happen this Thursday starting 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The metro-wide earthquake drill is part of the preparation of Metro Manila in the event a 7.2-magnitude quake hits the metropolis.

Motorists are expected to stop for 45 seconds once Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) traffic enforcers give the signal that the drill is in full swing.

Motorists plying along and below flyovers and in tunnels must keep driving to avoid being caught or trapped in these risk areas.

Operations of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) and the Light Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2 will remain normal during the metro-wide earthquake drill this Thursday morning. –Nestor Corrales, IDL
