Geo- Hazard Map

The Geo-Hazard Map of Barangay Hindag-an is a critical disaster-preparedness tool that overlays topographical contour lines with identified high-risk zones within its 621.54-hectare territory. The map identifies four distinct environmental threats: Storm Surges covering 13.78 hectares, Flooding affecting 37.34 hectares, Erosion at 21.57 hectares, and a significant Earthquake hazard zone spanning 547.38 hectares. By visualizing these threats at a 1:21,000 scale, the document provides local authorities with the necessary data to restrict development in vulnerable areas and plan effective evacuation routes. This mapping is essential for the community’s safety, especially given its location between mountainous terrain and the coastal waters of Saint Bernard.
