Strong earthquake hits the Philippines

A significant earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Monday (8 June) that reached 7.8 on the magnitude scale. The epicentre was located offshore near Sarangani province, with strong tremors felt across the southern region and a tsunami warning issued across parts of the Philippines and neighbouring countries shortly after.

Rescue efforts continue with severe damage to buildings, roads, power, communications and infrastructure adding to the difficulties — and aftershocks expected throughout the week. Government agencies are assessing the full extent of the damage and coordinating relief efforts.

We are already working with our partner company MASCO in the Philippines to gather further intel, mobilise teams and provide support — we already have a number of teams on standby and are reaching out to our wider business to be on alert.

In addition to providing our adjusting services, we can also support with repair solutions, contents and inventory solutions, forensic advisory services and engineering. For questions or assistance, please get in touch.
