1. Richter Scale
The Richter scale is used to rate the magnitude of an earthquake -- the amount of energy it released.
2. Intensity
the measurable amount of a property, such as force, brightness, or a magnetic field.
3. Active fault
An active fault is a fault that is likely to become the source of another earthquake sometime in the future.
4. PHIVOLCS
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is a service institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) that is principally mandated to mitigate disasters that may arise from volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami and other related geotectonic phenomena.
5. Inactive fault
Inactive faults are structures that we can identify, but which do no have earthquakes. As you can imagine, because of the complexity of earthquake activity, judging a fault to be inactive can be tricky, but often we can measure the last time substantial offset occurred across a fault.
6. PEIS

It shows information on the qualifications and skills of the applicants as well as the job vacancies posted by the employers.
