SEISMIC HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Active faults are faults that have moved within the last 10,000 years.
An active fault may show evidence or may have documented history
Safe; of recent movements. Ground rupture is a displacement along an
Approximately active fault trace that reaches the surface.
Ground Rupture 10.9 km south
Ground rupture hazard assessment is the distance to the nearest
of the Care
known active fault. The recommended buffer zone, or Zone of
Fault
Avoidance, against ground rupture hazard is at least 5 meters on both
sides of the active fault or from its zone of deformation.

All sites may be affected by ground shaking in the event of an

Ground Shaking Prone earthquake and can be mitigated by following the provisions of the
National Building code and the Structural code of the Philippines.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein the ground, especially near the

Liquefaction Safe river, lake and coasts, behaves like liquid similar to quicksand due to
very strong shaking.

Earthquake-Induced Data are being Earthquake-induced landslides are the downward slope movement of
Landslide updated rocks, solid and other debris commonly triggered by strong shaking.

A tsunami is a series of sea waves commonly generated by under-the-

Tsunami Safe sea earthquakes.

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.
For site-specific evaluation or construction of critical facilities, detailed engineering assessment and
onsite geotechnical engineering survey may be required.

VOLCANIC HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Approximately Active volcanoes are those that erupted within historical times (within
Nearest Active 33.2 km the last 600 years). Accounts of these eruptions were documented by
Volcano northeast of man within the last 10,000 years based on the analyses of material
Pinatubo from young volcanic deposits.

Lahars (an Indonesian term), sometimes called volcanic mudflows or

debris flows, are slurries of volcanic sediment, debris and water that
cascade down a volcano’s slopes through rivers and channels. Lahars
in tropical areas are mainly generated by torrential rainfall on
unconsolidated deposits from a past eruption.
Lahar Safe
Lahar Hazard assessments are long-term lahar hazard projections
based on the volcano’s morphology, eruption history, as well as its
tendency for rapid morphologic changes during periods of intense
and/or prolonged rainfall, or after a major lahar event.

In case of future eruptions, the site may be affected by ash fallout,

depending on the scale of eruption and prevailing wind direction at
Ashfall Prone the time of eruption. Generally, ashfall is heavier near the active vent
and thins out indefinitely away from the eruption center.

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.

HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Areas with moderate susceptibility to floods are likely to experience

Moderate
Susceptibility; 0.5
Flood to 1 meter flood
height and/or 1 to
3 days flooding
flood heights of 0.5 meters up to 1 meter and/or flood duration of 1 to
3 days. These are subject to widespread inundation during prolonged
and extensive heavy rainfall or extreme weather conditions. Fluvial
terraces, alluvial fans, and infilled valleys are also moderately
subjected to flooding.
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
Severe Wind period); 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 inland flooding, sometimes in unimaginable heights. It
Storm Surge Safe 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.

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.
