Thirteen local government units in Negros Occidental, including this highly urbanized city, are undergoing geological assessment for risk reduction and resiliency being conducted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Western Visayas . These include land geohazard assessment, coastal geohazard assessment, and groundwater resource mapping and assessment under the National Geohazard Assessment and Mapping Program.
“Technical information provided by these geohazard maps have been used by LGUs in the updating and modification of their comprehensive land use programs as well as in project development, disaster preparedness, management and mitigation programs,” it added. The cities of Sipalay and Kabankalan were assessed for coastal geohazard in the first half of this year, along with the municipalities of Hinoba-an and Ilog, while the assessment for Pulupandan town was done last year.
