Supplementary notes

*The intensity scale is based on PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS), a seismic scale used and developed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOLCS) to measure the intensity of an earthquake. The scale measures the effect of an earthquake on a given area based on its relative effect to people, structures and objects in the surroundings.

The PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) is as follows:
Intensity scale 1 - scarcely perceptible.
Intensity scale 2 - slightly felt.
Intensity scale 3 – weak.
Intensity scale 4 - moderately strong.
Intensity scale 5 - strong.
Intensity scale 6 - very strong.
Intensity scale 7 - destructive.
Intensity scale 8 - very destructive.
Intensity scale 9 – devastating.
Intensity scale 10 - completely devastating.

As a result of a magnitude *** earthquake that occurred on January 14, 2018, in Occidental Mindoro, a PEIS intensity level of **** was reported in the areas of Paluan and Mambura in the Philippines. The intensity scale was based on the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale, a seismic scale that measures the effect of an earthquake on a given area based on its relative impact to people, structures and objects in the surroundings. An intensity level of * corresponds to a moderately strong effect, with the earthquake generally felt by people indoors and by some people outdoors.
