The Office of Civil Defense called on local government units to fully utilize the geohazard map developed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Mines and Geosciences Bureau following the landslides during the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine. “Kumpleto ho ‘yan, kailangan lang gamitin ng todo ng mga kasamahan natin sa local government units,” said OCD administrator Ariel Nepomuceno in Raffy Tima’s report in “24 Oras” on Tuesday.
The geohazard map can be accessed by anyone with Internet connection and it shows the areas that are prone to landslides and floods. For instance, Barangay Sampaloc in Talisay, Batangas is colored red in the geohazard map, which indicates that it is a landslide-prone area during heavy downpour. But the OCD thinks that few are aware that such a map exists. “Hindi na ngayon yung panahon na hindi alam yung mangyayari eh. Kulang lang sa kaalaman na meron nang ganyang impormasyon,” said Nepomuceno.
