DAVAO CITY (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): The series of earthquakes that rocked Davao de Oro province in the last two days sent at least 362 families out of their homes, setting up tents in open spaces or taking shelters at evacuation sites, according to the initial report of the Davao de Oro provincial disaster risk reduction office.

Of the 362 displaced families, 286 came from seven barangays of New Bataan town, the epicentre of most of the moderate-to-strong earthquakes that shook Davao de Oro in the last two days that followed the magnitude 6 tremor on Feb 1.
