A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Sarangani in the southern Philippines. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recommended the immediate evacuation of residents living near coastal areas. Indonesia ordered evacuations of northern areas threatened by tsunami waves. Phivolcs uses the Phivolcs Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) to describe how strongly an earthquake is felt in a specific area. Earthquakes occur regularly in the Philippines due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates meet and move.
