The table above presented the elements susceptible to hazard. Elements are identified

as Population, Natural Resources, Critical Facilities, Urban Use Areas, and

Infrastructure and Utilities. Climate variables that may affect these vulnerable elements

are heavy rainfall and drastic increase in temperature. According to the table, almost all

of the identified elements are affected by the said climate variables. In terms of higher

temperature, the most affected months will be on March, April, and May. And the

months of June, July, and August will be the peak months for rainy season.
