ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – The municipal government of Ipil in Zamboanga Sibugay province is set to prohibit any additional settlement of new occupants in areas considered high-risk to calamities in the municipality. | |||
Ipil, the capital town of Zamboanga Sibugay comprised of 28 barangays, is a first class municipality with a population of 63,786 people in 12,514 households as of 2010. | |||
Ipil municipal councilor Alberto Alcoriza, Jr. said this in response to the call of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to all local government units (LGUs) to declare “no habitation zones” in all high risk areas. | |||
Alcoriza said imposing prohibition of additional or new construction in areas considered high-risk to calamities would be the initial plan of the municipal government, citing the problem on relocation would be settled in the future. | |||
Those who would be relocated were the ones who were already staying in areas considered or identified as high-risk, Alcoriza said. | |||
He said they would focus on the identification of no habitation zones and tell the people not to add any structure or not to allow any new comer to settle in vacant lots. | |||
DENR Secretary Ramon Paje urged LGUs to declare “no habitation zones” of all areas identified as high-risk due to landslides and flooding incidents that claimed several lives caused by recent typhoons that hit the country. | |||
Paje also appealed to all LGUs to use geohazard maps earlier distributed by DENR to avoid loss of lives and properties especially in critical times when typhoons sweep the country which triggered heavy precipitation of lands. | |||
Geohazard maps identifies the areas susceptible to floods, landslides and flash floods and the level of their susceptibility such as high, moderate and low. (PNA) | |||
