A team from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Western Visayas is conducting a vulnerability and risk assessment here as part of the process to update the city’s geohazard map. Ram Vera, chief of City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office Research and Planning Section, said on Wednesday there is a need to update the city’s susceptibility status since its existing geohazard map is already 11 years old.
Geologist II ER Ramos leads the DENR-MGB team in conducting the VRA, which involves a more expansive look at risk exposures of areas, to update Bacolod’s susceptibility map on a scale of 1:10,000, indicating the level of susceptibility of barangays and sitios to landslides and flooding. According to the DENR-MGB, the VRA is an assessment of the degree of vulnerability and potential risks of an area given the exposure to three elements --population, built-up areas and roads.
