Natural Hazards Setting in the

Philippines

Ang Pilipinas ay nangunguna sa listahan ng mga bansang laging

Sinasalanta ng disaster o kalamidad, tulad ng lindol, bagyo, baha,
pagputok ng bulkan, pagguho ng lupa o landslides, tagtuyot, peste,
Red tide, dengue, sunog, paglubog at sunog sa bangka at barko,
Kidnapping at digmaan atbp.
Natural Hazards Setting in the
Philippines
 Ang Pilipinas ay bahagi ng
Pacific Ring of fire.
Napapagitnaan ito ng 2
earthquake belt – Ang
Pacific Plate at Eurasian
Plate kaya madalas
makaranas ng lindol.

- 20 lindol ang naitatala

bawat araw
- 100 to 200 lindol ang
nararamdaman kada taon
- 90 mapaminsalang lindol
sa nakalipas na 400 taon
- mga tsunami
- May 220 bulkan dito at 22

nito ay aktibo o may

naitala nang pagputok sa
loob ng 100 taon.
Natural Hazards Setting in the Philippines
 Ang Pilipinas ay malapit sa Western
North Pacific Basin kung saan nabubuo
ang 75% ng mga bagyo sabuong daigdig.
- average 20 to 30 bagyo kada taon,
5 to 7 bagyo ay lubhang mapaminsala
- ang hanging amihan sa silangan ay
kung minsan umaabot sa 200 kph
- 25 percent ng bagyo na may ganyang
lakas na dumadaan sa buong mundo ay
tumatama sa ating lugal.
- Buhat 1998 hanggang 2000 ay 198 na
bagyo ang dumaan sa Pilipinas.
- Ang malakas na hangin dala ng bagyo
habang papalapit dito sa lupa ay nagdudulot
din ng malalaking alon at abnormal na
pagtaas ng tubig at pagbaha sa mababang
lugal.

Regional Risk Profile
 Ang MIMAROPA ay hindi naging mapalad na
mabiyayaan ng tinatawag na “Ready Project”,
subalit ang mga ahensiya dito ay may mga
programang regular at patuloy na inaalam ang
mga bantang panganib sa limang may mga
baybaying lalawigan ng Rehiyon IV-B.

 Ang mga sumusunod na mga Mapa ay “Hazard

Maps” na nilimbag ng NAMRIA na magiging
gabay sa pagkilala ng mga lugal na
mapanganib. Ang mga ito ay inihanda ng taga
MGB-DENR, PAGASA at PHIVOLCS.

 Ang kalamidad ay nananatiling isang
malaking hamon upang makamit ang
matatag at ligtas na komunidad sa ating
bansa hanggang 2015;
 Mga natural na bantang panganib:
Bagyo, baha, pagguho, lindol, tsunami,
pagputok ng bulkan, tagtuyot atbp;
 Pabago bagong klima ng panahon;
 Kahirapan
 Pagdami ng populasyon, pagkalbo ng
kagubatan at polusyon sa kapaligiran.
The Philippines is one of
the most disaster-prone
countries in the world
The International Red Cross
 Located within the Pacific
Ring of Fire, a fault line
circling the edges of the
Pacific Ocean that hosts
90% of the world’s
volcanoes, the Philippines
has 300 volcanoes, 22 of
which are active.
An average of 22 cyclones hit
the Philippines, 5 of which are
destructive
The country’s archipelagic
nature makes the
Philippines prone to storm
surge and tidal waves
United States Geological Survey – Philippine
Center for Transnational Crime
 High – intensity
earthquakes visit the
Philippines every 6 years
 Previous Disasters
 August 1984 – typhoon Nitang
(International Code name Ike)
brings heavy winds and rains
that destroy whole towns and
leave over 1,400 dead
particularly in the southern
Philippines, a region usually
spared typhoons.
 Previous Disasters
 November 1987 – Typhoon
Sisang (international
codename Nina) causes
storm surges that destroy
coastal villages and leave
about 600 dead.
 Previous Disasters

that leave over 700
dead.
 Previous Disasters
 Dormant for hundred of years,
Mt. Pinatubo in Zambales
erupts in June 1991 burying
whole towns in ash and forcing
millions to flee their homes.
About 700 die, many of them
diseases in evacuation centers.
 Previous Disasters
 November 1991 – Tropical storm
Uring (international codename
Thelma) hits the Visayas, and
claimed the lives of around
6,000 individuals. Many of
deaths were in the City of Ormoc
which was hit by a flash flood
that left hundreds dead.
 PREVIOUS DISASTERS
 September 1993 –
Typhoon Kadiang
(International Codename
Flo) leaves nearly 600
dead.
 PREVIOUS DISASTERS
 On October 1995, Typhoon
Rosing (International
Codename Angela) brings
storm surges, mudslides
and a dam failure that
cause close to a thousand
deaths.

 Previous Disaster
In July 2000, rains spawned by a
series of tropical storms caused by
the Payatas dump site in Quezon

trash.
More than 200 dead bodies were

thousand dead or missing.
 Previous Disaster
When Typhoon Milenyo
(International code name
Xangsane) Hit Manila on
September 2006, it toppled
trees, billboards, power lines,
knocking out electrical service
for days and leaving almost 200
dead.
 Previous Disasters

In February 2006, after days

of heavy rains and a minor
earthquake, a landslide buried
a Village in Guinsaugon
in St. Bernard, Southern Leyte,
killing more than a thousand –
among them school children
attending classes in the village
 Previous Disasters

In June 21, 2008, typhoon

Frank (International Code
Name Fengshen) sank the MV
Princess of the Stars. Only 58
out of the 850 passengers
survived. Frank claimed nearly
500 other lives on land and
leaves more than one million
 Previouse Disasters

September 26, 2009,

From 8 am to 2 pm,
tropical storm Ondoy
(Ketsana) unleased over a
month’s worth of rain on
Metro Manila and its
surrounding areas.
 Previous Disasters
 Ondoy leaft 464 dead, 529
injured and 57 still missing.
Almost a month after the
storm ravaged the nation’s
capital, 31,508 families
(146,141 individuals) are still
living in 367 evacuation
centers in affected regions
 Previous Disasters
 From October 2 to October 9, 2002,
Typhoon Pepeng (Pharma) hovered
over Northern Luzon bringing rainfall
from 300 mm to 700mm in different
parts of Luzon. This unprecedented
amount of rain resulted in
flashfloods in Northern Luzon and
triggered landslides in the
Cordilleras.
 Previous Disasters
 Typhoon Pepeng left 465
dead, 207 injured and 47
missing. To date, 3,258
families affected by the storm
continue to live in 54
evacuation centers in affected
regions
 Previous Disasters
 8 mm of rain per hour or
200 mm per day is enough
to trigger floods and
landslides
