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 of recent
movements. Ground rupture is a displacement along an active fault trace that

Approximately
Ground Rupture
38.7 km north of Ground rupture hazard assessment is the distance to the nearest known active
the Lubang Fault fault. The recommended buffer zone, or Zone of 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 earthquake and
Ground Shaking Prone 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 river,


lake and coasts, behaves like liquid similar to quicksand due to very strong

shaking.

Earthquake-induced landslides are the downward slope movement of rocks,


solid and other debris commonly triggered by strong shaking.

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 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.

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.

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

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