The geologic formation of the two portions of Caloocan City varies in type and
characteristics, and are specifically classified as: quaternary alluvium, tuff and
TOPOGRAPHY tuffaceous sediment, pyroclastic flow deposit, and conglomerates1 . The formation on
the eastern half of Metropolitan Manila extending to the coastline of Manila Bay and
SOUTH CALOOCAN including a greater part of South Caloocan, is the quaternary alluvium -- consisting of
unconsolidated stream‐deposited sediments that includes sand, silt, clay or gravel.

CLIMATE
Just like the rest of the towns and cities of Metro
Manila, Caloocan City falls under type 1 of the Philippine
Climate Classification which has two distinct seasons. First
is the Dry High Pressure season, which comes in the months
of November till April. The dry season corresponds with
the northeast monsoon (October to January). The Wet
season which starts from May and lasts up to October is
consistent with the southwest monsoon (June to
September). Between these two well defined monsoon
periods, the southeast trade winds blow from February to
May.

MAXIMUM OCCURRENCE
In 1994, maximum rainfall in North and South Caloocan
occurred in the months of July, August and September.
The annual rainfall was recorded to be 2,115.90 mm with
a maximum of 761.70 mm in July and a minimum of 1.60 mm
in February for the South Caloocan. North Caloocan
recorded 2,588.70 mm annual rainfall with a maximum of
518.30 mm.
MACRO SITE ANALYSIS
Flooding
Flooding due to monsoon rains and typhoon is anticipated to
intensify due to climate change. Recurrent problems of flood and
destruction of properties and loss of lives due to typhoons is expected
to aggravate this coming rainy season. Severe flood problems in the
city are mostly due to river overflow, excessive rainfall and inadequate
channel capacity. In some areas within higher elevation, accidents from
flooding hazards (such as flash floods) are cause by erosion and
landslides. These flood problems gave rise to the loss of property and
some lives (on isolated cases) as well. Those areas identified at risk on
this action plan report are classified as potential disaster areas;
taking into account its physical condition and/or limitation, and known
case of disaster or accident occurred within because of flood. Based
on the study conducted under the GMMA Ready Project, 15 barangays
in the South Caloocan will be susceptible to high flooding and 5
barangays will have a very high flooding. Meanwhile, 20 barangays in
the North Caloocan will be vulnerable to high flooding and 18
barangays to a very high flooding.
