A magnitude 7.6 earthquake happened 90 miles off of Samar leaving 1 dead and minor infrastructural damages. Considering the magnitude of the earthquake, we were lucky that the damages are minimal. So far, I don't remember any strong quakes happening in Cagayan during the last decade, the last earthquake I remember occurred during the speech of then President Gloria Arroyo at Tuguegarao. Still, it is important that we are aware of what to do in case this happens in Cagayan.

The northern shores of Cagayan are also susceptible to tsunami, and thus necessary preparations for evacuation must also be made. Better safe than sorry.
