Disaster Prone Area Map

The thematic maps for Barangay Mahayag in Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte, detail an administrative and natural framework focused on resource management and disaster preparedness. Administratively, the Zonal Map divides the territory into seven distinct Puroks, while the Existing Land Use Map reveals a landscape dominated by Brushland (291.18 Ha) and Permanent Crops (282.58 Ha), with smaller pockets of Natural Forest and Cash Crops. The area’s rich hydrological profile includes 19 springs feeding into a 2.31-km river and an extensive 12.25-km creek network. Connectivity is supported by a provincial road and over 13 km of foot trails, though the Disaster Prone Area Map highlights critical vulnerabilities, specifically approximately 47.20 hectares of erosion-prone land and areas susceptible to flooding.
