SEISMIC HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

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

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

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

Liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein the ground, especially near the

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

Liquefaction hazards can be mitigated by following the provisions of
the National Building Code and the Structural Code of the Philippines.

Earthquake-Induced Earthquake-induced landslides are the downward slope movement of

Landslide

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

Tsunami Safe sea earthquakes.

Explanation and Recommendation:

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

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

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.

HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Areas with low susceptibility to rain-induced landslides are gently

sloping areas with no identified landslides.

Implementation of appropriate mitigation measures as deemed

necessary by project engineers and LGU building officials is
Low recommended for landslide-susceptible areas. This includes
Rain-Induced Susceptibility; No performing site-specific studies to address potential foundation/slope
Landslide identified stability problems.
landslides
Monitoring of signs/evidences of ground movement such as tension
cracks, tilted trees and fences, and bulging road sections in areas that
are moderately to critically susceptible to landslides should be done
regularly and reported to local authorities and/or the MGB.

Explanation and Recommendation:

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

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.
117.1 - 220 kph
(20-year return At higher return periods, the wind speeds are stronger but are less
Severe Wind period); 220.1 - frequent.
270 kph (500-year
At lower return periods, the wind speeds are less intense but are more
return period)
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.

Explanation and Recommendation:

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.
