Understanding Disaster Risks in the Philippines
Flood Risk
Based on historical flood data, drainage systems, and elevation. Low-lying areas near rivers and coastal zones have higher flood risk. Check flood maps from PAGASA and local government units.
Earthquake Risk
The Philippines sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Major fault lines include West Valley Fault, East Valley Fault, and the Philippine Fault. Distance from fault lines affects earthquake intensity.
Typhoon Exposure
The Philippines experiences an average of 20 typhoons yearly. Eastern coastal areas have higher exposure. Consider wind resistance and proximity to mountains that provide natural barriers.
Liquefaction Risk
Liquefaction occurs when saturated soil loses strength during earthquakes. Reclaimed lands and areas with high water tables have higher risk. Check soil studies before buying.
