VOLCANIC HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

Approximately 38
Nearest Active Volcano
km north of Taal
Active volcanoes are those that erupted within historical times (within the last
600 years). Accounts of these eruptions were documented by man within the
last 10,000 years based on the analyses of material from young volcanic
deposits.

Base surge is a special class of pyroclastic density current that are mobile and
Base Surge Safe water-vapor-rich pyroclastic surges. They are generated by explosive
phreatomagmatic eruptions.

Volcanic tsunami occur in caldera lakes when water is displaced by deformation

of the lake floor caused by rising magma or the entry of pyroclastic density

Volcanic Tsunami Safe by PDCs or debris avalanches from volcanoes. Such tsunamis are unlike those
generated by large magnitude offshore earthquakes, which are long-period
waves generated by fault displacement or deformation of the seafloor.

In case of future eruptions, the site may be affected by ash fallout, depending on
the scale of eruption and prevailing wind direction at the time of eruption.
Ashfall Prone Generally, ashfall is heavier near the active vent and thins out indefinitely away
from the eruption center.

HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Very High
Susceptibility; more
Flood than 2 meters flood
height and/or more
than 3 days flooding
Areas with very high susceptibility to floods are likely to experience flood heights
of greater than 2 meters and/or flood duration of more than 3 days. These
include active river channels, abandoned river channels, and areas along
riverbanks, which are immediately flooded during heavy rains of several hours
and are prone to flash floods. These are considered critical geohazard areas
and are not suitable for development. It is recommended that these be declared
as “No Habitation/No Build Zones” by the LGU, and that affected
households/communities be relocated.
The implementation of appropriate mitigation measures as deemed necessary
by project engineers and LGU building officials is recommended for areas that
are susceptible to various flood depths. Site-specific studies including the
assessment for other types of hazards should also be conducted to address
potential foundation problems.

Note:
All hazard assessments are based on the available susceptibility maps and the coordinates of the user’s selected
location.
Depending on the basemaps used and methods employed during mapping, discrepancies may be observed between
location of hazards or exposure information and actual ground observations.
In some areas, hazard assessment may be updated as new data become available for interpretation or as a result of
major topographic changes due to onset of natural events.
The possibility of both rain-induced landslide and flooding occurring is not disregarded. Because of the composite
nature of MGB’s 1:10,000-scale Rain-induced Landslide and Flood Susceptibility Maps, it spatially prioritizes the
more frequently occurring and most damaging hazards in an area. Continuous updating is being done.
For site-specific evaluation or construction of critical facilities, detailed engineering assessment and onsite
geotechnical engineering survey may be required.

HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

The Regional Severe Wind Hazard Map represents the 3-second peak gust
wind speed measured at 10-meter height (above ground) over open and flat
terrain. This does not take into account the local factors such as topography,
terrain roughness and shielding from neighbouring structures.

The Regional Severe Wind Hazard is expressed in terms of Return

117.1 - 220 kph (20-
year return period);
Severe Wind
117.1 - 220 kph (500-
year return period)
Periods(RPs) of Tropical Cyclone winds. Return period means the repeat
interval, or the estimate of likelihood and severity of severe wind event. Return
periods are then translated into Annual Exceedance Probabilities (AEPs) which
are the chance that a given severe wind hazard level will be equalled or
exceeded in any year.
At higher return periods, the wind speeds are stronger but are less frequent.
At lower return periods, the wind speeds are less intense but are more frequent.

The Regional severe wind hazard maps are used to update the wind zoning
map of the Philippines and as reference in designing building structures.

For those areas identified as high risk to wind damage, building

codes/regulations must be strictly implemented to mitigate severe wind risks.
For already developed areas, retrofitting is encouraged – the methods applied in
this study can be used to set out a cost-benefit study for retrofitting older, more
vulnerable building types to increase their resilience to severe winds.

HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

A storm surge (“daluyong ng bagyo”) is the abnormal rise in sea level that
occurs during tropical cyclones or “bagyo”. It happens when a very strong
tropical cyclone blows-off excessive amounts of seawater toward low-lying
coastal communities.

It is catastrophic and life-threatening because a storm surge can cause massive

Storm Surge Safe inland flooding, sometimes in unimaginable heights. It is even more dangerous
when the storm surge coincides with a high tide.

For storm surge-prone communities, the most important considerations are 1)

the strength of the tropical cyclone, 2) the height of the surge, and 3) if the
community is located in a low-lying areas.

All hazard assessments are based on the available susceptibility maps and the coordinates of the user’s selected
