A GEOHAZARD map can help investors find suitable locations in Northern Mindanao.

“With geohazard maps we can readily pinpoint locations that are most worry-free for investors,” said Leon Dacanay, the National Economic and Development Authority’s (NEDA) regional director and a member of the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC).

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) is willing to distribute the maps to local governments and line agencies, Dacanay said.

“The map would also ensure the integrity of government projects such as roads from flooding and other hazards,” he said.
