The United States is carved by nature’s most breathtaking masterpieces—its canyons. From the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon to Utah’s otherworldly Bryce and Zion, these colossal landscapes reveal millions of years of geological artistry, where fiery red cliffs and winding valleys whisper stories of time, erosion, and the unstoppable power of nature.
Each canyon is a wonder waiting to be explored. Whether it’s Antelope Canyon’s sculpted walls, Waimea’s lush Hawaiian hues, or Colorado’s dramatic Black Canyon, every curve and shadow captures a different mood of Earth’s beauty—reminding travelers that true adventure begins where the land itself tells its story.
Meanwhile,
In the past 30 days alone, more than 90 earthquakes with a magnitude of 1.5 or higher were recorded across the Philippines.
Living in an archipelago located along the Pacific Ring of Fire means that earthquakes in the Philippines are part of daily life. While many quakes are usually mild, this month has already brought several strong and widely felt earthquakes, reminding us how quickly powerful tremors can strike without warning - shaking homes, disrupting communities, and putting lives at risk in just a few seconds.
This is why awareness and preparedness are so important. We can’t predict earthquakes, but we can prepare ourselves and our loved ones for when they happen.
Here’s what to do during an earthquake:
Stay calm and stay put. Don’t rush outside while the ground is shaking. DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON. Get down low, find cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops. Stay away from windows, mirrors, or anything that could fall. If you’re outdoors, move to an open space away from buildings, trees, or power lines. If you’re driving, pull over in a safe area, stay inside the vehicle, and wait until it’s safe to continue. Preparedness Tips:
Keep an emergency bag ready with food, water, flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, and important documents. Know the nearest evacuation areas and safe spots in your home. Practice earthquake drills regularly with your family. Stay informed through reliable sources like PHIVOLCS and local authorities.Earthquakes remind us how quickly things can change - but being informed and prepared gives us the power to respond wisely. Let’s build a culture of readiness and resilience together. Share this to help spread awareness and keep more families safe.
