GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS:
GEOLOGICAL MAPS AND
MITIGATION

GROUP 6
 Geological threats are associated with earth
materials that include landslides,
earthquakes, sinkholes and many others,
such as hazardous materials or earth
processes. These natural risks transform into
catastrophe impacts for some populations.
This can cause injury, illness, home loss,
income loss and even loved one’s loss.
 LANDSLIDE
-is a rock, dirt, or debris falling down a
sloping section of land.
The common kind of landslide that we
experience here in the Philippines is the
rainfall-induced landslide

SINKHOLE
-is a depression or hole caused by the
collapse of the surface layer of the
ground.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sinkholes and rainfall-induced landslide
are some of other geological hazard
that we experience here in the
Philippines along with other causes of
landslides, earthquake, volcanic
eruption, and flooding.
MAP OF GEOLOGICAL HAZARD
-is a map showing the areas that are
vulnerable to earthquake threats,
volcanic eruptions, and landslides. It is
a tool that scientists and local
authorities use to anticipate any
hazard that a geological event could
bring. It also helps educate the public
about and train them for the
geological threat.
Mitigation for Rainfall-induced
landslide
-Mitigation strategies for rainfall-
induced landslide include studying rainfall
patterns, type of soil, land characteristics
and flow of nearby bodies of water. This
information can be gathered from a
landslide geologic map. Areas with steep
slope and coarse, bare soil are more
susceptible to landslides

 Mitigation for Sinkholes
Mitigation strategies for sinkholes
include ground surveys and checking
for signs of this impending disaster. It
is necessary to check for cracks in the
land area and establishments, sloping
of floor and any other sign of weakness
in land integrity.
