00:00In order to avoid the worst possible consequences of the calamities, the Office of Civil Defense gave the Geohazard Map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the DNR.
00:10This is what Rafi Tima is talking about.
00:17In the passing of Hurricane Christine, 125 people were affected and more than 100 people were lost.
00:23Many were affected due to landslides.
00:26But how can we know if your area is likely to be hit by a landslide?
00:30In the briefing of the Office of Civil Defense regarding the effects of Hurricane Christine,
00:34the Geohazard Map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the DNR was also given.
00:39This is complete.
00:41However, we really need to use everything, especially our colleagues in the local government units.
00:49This is the Geohazard Map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.
00:51Anyone who has access to this map,
00:53as long as you have an internet connection,
00:55you will be able to see if your area is a landslide-prone area or a flood-prone area.
01:01The problem, according to the OCD, is that there is a lack of knowledge that there is a map like this.
01:07This is not the time when you don't know what will happen.
01:10There is just a lack of knowledge that there is such information.
01:18In the last briefing of the Office of Civil Defense,
01:20the local government units and local media members in their areas
01:26have been discussing this information over and over again
01:30whenever there is an upcoming storm or bad weather.
01:32The MGB admitted that although their Geohazard Map is now good and extensive,
01:37more data is needed to make the landslide prediction more accurate.
01:42As of now, we have met about 50% for our updating of the 1 in 10,000 scale
01:48of our rain-induced landslide and flooding.
01:51And we aim to finish it by 2028.
01:54The barangay of Sampaloc in Talay, Batangas, where there are 20 deaths in the landslide,
01:59is red in the Geohazard Map.
02:01This means that there is a high chance of a landslide if it rains heavily.
02:05Aside from the Hazard Map, there are some places where a warning sign has been placed
02:08that it is close to a landslide.
02:10As a reminder from the OCD, there is a lot of information about disasters whenever there is bad weather.
02:15It just needs to be known and used.
02:18For GMA Integrated News, Rafi Tima reporting for 24 Hours.
