HAZARDS ASSESSMENT SERVICES

Earthquake and Volcanic Hazards

DOST-PHIVOLCS Hazard Assessment Services (HAS) is one of PHIVOLCS' frontline services that determines if any earthquake and/or volcanic hazard is present in a particular parcel of land of interest to a stakeholder. The result is contained in a Hazard Assessment Report. It is also responsible for providing hazard information packages requested by stakeholders.

Hazard Assessment Report (HAR)

The document that contains the hazard assessment for a particular parcel of land of interest to a stakeholder. The HAR by itself is NOT an approval, endorsement or authorization for further government procedure.

This system is supported by GeoRiskPH. All hazard information is from DOST-PHIVOLCS. Hazard information may be refined as new data become available.
