M 7.5 Earthquake - March 2002, Philippines

On 6 March 2002 a magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Mindanao breaching a wall of the Mount Parker volcano and causing a portion of it to fall into Lake Maughan at the top of the volcano. A great amount of water released from the lake washed away many houses and flooded nine barangays in the South Cotabato province. 2,405 people had to be evacuated from these areas¹. The tsunami, with heights estimated at 3 meters, caused damage at Kiamba, Maitum and Palimbang².
