Natural Hazards in the Philippines
The Philippines is 3 rd in the world most exposed and
at risk to natural hazards (World Risk Report, 2013)
Earthquake
Typhoon
Storm surge
Tsunami
Flood
Volcanic eruption
Landslide
The Need to Reduce Disaster Risks
Disaster risks must be reduced to save lives
and develop resilient cities and communities,
through:
• Hazard Assessment, Exposure Database
Development and Risk assessment
• Monitoring and Forecasting
• Warning
• Awareness and Preparedness
• Rapid Response and Recovery
• Appropriate Land Use
• Mitigation Measures

Landslide
Ongoing and Future
Collaborative Activities
• Continue ground deformation analysis using PSInSAR with new ALOS 2 data in the following area:
– Mayon and Taal for Volcano Monitoring
– Greater Metro Manila for ground subsidence and tectonic
deformation (fault movement)
• Calibrate proto-type landslide and flood warning
system for future operation
• Actively participate in satellite disaster analysis as
Project Manager (PM) or Data Analysis Node (DAN)
