Earthquake scales that take into consideration the damage caused by an earthquake are known as intensity scales. Examples include the The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale and the Macroseismic Scale.
PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) uses the Richter scale to measure the intensity of earthquakes. This scale is a logarithmic scale that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.
PAGASA uses the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale to measure the intensity of an earthquake in the Philippines. This scale assesses the effects of an earthquake on people, structures, and the environment rather than measuring the actual energy released by the earthquake.
The Richter scale determines earthquake magnitude by measuring how much the ground moves, and the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale determines earthquake intensity based on damage to buildings and effects on humans.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to provide data for intensity maps of earthquake damage. It measures the effects of an earthquake at a specific location based on observed damage and human perception. The scale ranges from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction).
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.
The PHIVOLCS Magnitude Scale is a local magnitude scale developed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) for measuring the size of earthquakes specifically in the Philippines. It is similar to the Richter scale but is calibrated to account for local geology and seismic waves. The scale provides a numerical value that quantifies the energy released by an earthquake.
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.

Mercalli is a scale for the measurement of earthquake intensities.

The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
