Lesson 1: Landslides and

Sinkholes
Specific Learning Outcomes
At the end of this topic, the learners will be able to:
1. Identify the different elements of a geohazard map;
2. Interpret geohazard maps provided by the Mines and Geosciences
Bureau to identify areas prone to landslide and flooding;
3. Be aware of the potential geohazards they are exposed to in their
barangay
• Watch the video and answer the following questions:

FOR RAIN-INDUCED LANDSLIDE PRONE
AREAS, THERE ARE THREECOLORS:
• Yellow: low susceptibility-less likely to experience landslide; Be
prepared.
• Green: moderately susceptible; be cautious.
• Red: highly susceptible; Be alert and ready to evacuate.
FOR FLOOD-PRONE AREAS:
• Pink: Low to moderately susceptible. Be cautious.
• Violet: Highly susceptible; be alert and ready to evacuate.
