RESULT OF

CLIMATE AND
DISASTER RISK
ASSESSMENT
FOR BARANGAY
TIONGSON
• HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

In the year 1965, Sergio Tiongson initiated the barangay

to be named after his father and Casulang became
Tionson. This was approved in the same year, the
barangay is composed of a Sitio Managa – Naga, Tugawi,
Dolungan and Pagsabangan.
A fiesta is being celebrated every first Friday of the
month of December.

• GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
Barangay Tiongson is geographically located at 13.1721
North and 123.4946 East of Ligao City, with the total land
area of 209.44 square meters.
Barangay Tiongson is more or less 30 KM from the town
proper and bounded by the following barangays:
• North: Oma Oma
• South: Batbat Guinobatan
• East: Balolo Guinobatan
• West: Tupaz

 POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF DISASTER AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate is a resource that may be used to improve decision-making in key development
sectors by reducing the negative consequences of bad weather while increasing the
benefits of good weather. Climate data and information, including historical, real-time, and
forecasted climate data and information, may help to better inform a variety of
development decisions, ranging from responsive to robust, such as climate change impact
assessments and action plans.
Hazard as defined in Republic Act 10121 is a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human
activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihood and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental
damage.
The Ligao City Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) will present key results
concerning the city's climatic based on historical and current data, as well as all-climate
predictions. Data was derived from state-of-the-art models using information from updated
future scenarios developed by DOST PAG-ASA, and it is believed that by providing accurate
predictions and warnings in an easily understandable format, as well as teaching people
how to prepare for such threats before they occur, people will be better prepared. In the
case of a disaster, life and property can be preserved.

 Potential Impacts Adaptation Option
1. Days that are hotter, and heat waves that are 1. Provide applicable technology, insurance coverage,
more frequent and last longer and information to improve adaptive capacities.

2. Increase heat-related deaths (i.e., heat stroke, 2. Upgrade health system to respond to changes in
dehydration as well as cardiovascular and environment and health
respiratory diseases)

3. Reduce the availability of safe food and
drinking water
4. Decrease crop productivity
5. Pests and diseases infestations
6. Drought which may eventually leads to
forest/grass fires may occur more often and more
destructive to forest production
3. In agriculture, plan and execute climate change risk
transfer and social protection mechanisms.
4. Drought/flood monitoring and forecasting
capabilities are being improved.
5. Watershed management on a large scale
6. Crops that require less water and are more efficient
are being introduced.

7. Strong and destructive typhoons which may 7. Traditional water gathering is being revived (i.e. rain
cause damage to properties, environment and water collector, windmill water pump)
loss of life
