Tinukoy ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) ang 6 na paaralan na nakatayo sa dinaraanan ng West Valley Fault na lantad sa pinangangambahang pagtama ng magnitude 7.2 na lindol.
Ayon kay PHIVOLCS Director Renato Solidum, kinabibilangan ito ng Sitio Karahume Elementary School sa Bulacan, Barangka Elementary School sa Marikina, Tibagan Elementary School sa Makati, Anne-Claire Montessori sa Taguig, Alabang Elementary School sa Muntinlupa, at E. Pedro Diaz High School sa Muntinlupa.
Sinabi ni Solidum na napayuhan na ang pamunuan ng mga eskwelahan na huwag nang gamitin ang mga gusaling sakop ng fault line upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng mga estudyante.
Samantala, 70 subdivision at villages ang nakatayo sa ibabaw ng valley fault system sa Metro Manila at mga karatig lugar.
