00:00Local governments are encouraging the use of the Geohazard Map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau
00:06to be more prepared in the event of calamities.
00:09This will allow us to see places where there may be landslides
00:14and severe flooding if there is a heavy rainfall due to a typhoon.
00:20The MGB will also issue a forecast to the barangays
00:24that the weather forecast may affect their hopes.
00:28The MGB continues to update the Geohazard Map
00:32but its accuracy is still high and it can still be accessed by the public
00:37on the MGB's website.
00:39That's why the Hazard Hunter PH was not searched on the internet.
00:47You don't have to be a scientist to do that.
00:49It's complete.
00:51That's why we really need to use everything,
00:55especially our colleagues in the local government units.
00:59We do produce maps for each municipality per province
01:04so we can see the areas that are prone,
01:08especially for flooding,
01:10if we are near rivers, creeks, drainages,
01:15and especially in mountainous areas
01:18where there may be landslides.
