THE Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) , an attached agency of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), has deployed an eight-member team of geologists to identify flood-prone areas, rain-induced landslides, ground subsidence, and sinkhole formation.
DENR Assistant Secretary Michael Cabalda said the assessment involves ground validation and geohazards data analysis.

“This study will enable us to pinpoint areas susceptible to flooding, rain-induced landslides, and those areas with high potential for ground subsidence and provide technical recommendations to LGUs (local government units) for proper zoning, building regulation, and emergency preparedness,” he said.
