SUMMARY REPORT - MGB Region III

Each barangay was rated into low, moderate or high for flooding susceptibility with the
rating parameters as follows:
Low
• 0 – 0.5 meter depth of floodwaters
Moderate
• 0.51 – 1 meter depth of floodwaters
High
• > 1 meter depth of floodwaters
With regards to landslide susceptibility, the barangays assessed include areas that are
located on and/or near slopes and riverbanks and have the potential for landslide
occurrence. The rating of each barangay presented herein particularly refers to the
barangay proper since majority of the population is located there. It should be noted,
however, that the rating does not necessarily reflect those of the sitios. These
barangays were presented with a Landslide Threat Advisory informing their
susceptibility to landslides and the corresponding recommendations particular to the
barangay.
The flood susceptibility of the barangays in the ten (10) municipalities/city was also
assessed. Barangays classified with moderate to high susceptibility to flooding are
located in identified low portions of the barangay, in topographically low-lying areas
and/or near a major river system. These barangays were presented with a Geohazard
Threat Advisory informing their susceptibility to flooding and the corresponding
recommendations particular to the barangay.
