With powerful super typhoons, high-magnitude earthquakes, and violent volcanic eruptions, the Philippine archipelago has experienced catastrophic events throughout history that claimed thousands of lives and billions worth of infrastructure.
While there are significant efforts to address the impacts of climate change and to improve disaster response, poor structural planning remains a key challenge in the country. Without science-backed assessments, more communities are becoming vulnerable to natural hazards.
To help address this growing concern, the DOST-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) developed unique online platforms under the GeoRiskPH Initiatives, in support of the recently enacted PHIVOLCS Modernization Law.
