CHAPTER 2

Hazard Characterization

Camarines Norte is identified as a province prone to natural hazard because of its location and geographic landscapes facing the Pacific Ocean. The hazards affecting the province are the following:

A. Hydrometeorological Hazards

A.1 Flooding

The Flood Hazard Map shown in Figure 2 has three (3) levels of susceptibility; areas with 1 meter flood height and are usually flooded for several hours during rainy days are considered as high susceptible areas.

For the province, all the twelve (12) municipalities are with high susceptibility levels to flood with the capital town of Daet having the most number of barangays affected of 24 out of 25 total barangay representing 96% followed by the municipalities of Mercedes, Paracale and Vinzons with 16 barangays each and San Lorenzo Ruiz with the least barangay affected of 1. The total land area of the province with high susceptibility to flood was accounted to 18,200.38 hectares or 7.84%. These were the greatly affected areas during the past flood events which caused considerable amount of damages to life and properties specifically on agriculture and infrastructure. With these figures, the municipality of Vinzons got the highest number of area affected of 4,894.63 hectares followed by Daet with 3,050.43 hectares and Sta. Elena with 2,378.83 hectares. These are considered as low lying municipalities of the province. Floods in these areas are triggered by heavy rains and exacerbated by overflowing of rivers and creeks. Coastal floods as a result of typhoons and windstorms contributed significantly to its high susceptibility. Capalonga on the other hand has 1,828.85 hectares. Talisay with 1,261.64 hectares and Labo with 1,164.31 hectares of affected areas (Table 2).

Based from the observed value of PAGASA, the highest rainfall intensity recorded for the province was 480mm/day covering the high, moderate and low susceptibility areas, 360mm/day for high and moderate susceptible areas and 90mm/day for low susceptible areas. With this, the probable or likelihood of occurrence of hydrometeorological hazards stood at 30-100 years or equivalent likelihood of three (3) years.

|% TO TOTAL | 7.84 | 8.61 | 4.27 | 20.72 |

Municipalities with moderate susceptibility or areas likely to experience flood height of 0.5 to 1.5 meters and/or flood duration of 1 to 3 days are found mostly in Labo with 35 barangays affected followed by Paracale with 26 barangays and San Vicente with the least of 2 barangays. Moderate susceptibility areas totalled to 19,966.09 hectares representing 8.61% of the total land area. These areas are subject to widespread inundation during prolonged and extensive heavy rainfall or extreme weather condition.

Low susceptibility area is accounted to 9,907.91 hectares provincewide or 4.27%. These are areas with 0 to 0.5 meter flood height and/or flood duration of less than 1 day. These include low hills and gentle slope and also have spurs to moderate drainage density.

Shown in Figure 2 is the flood hazard map of the province.

A.2 Rainfall Induced Landslide (RIL)

Landslides are described as downward movement of slope and materials under the force of gravity. It includes a ground movement such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flow. Landslides are influenced by human activity/mining and construction of buildings, railroads and highways and natural factors (geology, precipitation and topography).

It occurs when masses of rock, earth or debris move down a slope. Therefore, gravity acting in an overly steep slope is the primary cause of a landslide and is activated by rain, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruption and various human activities.

There are three (3) levels of susceptibility for landslides set by the DENR-MGB.

The high susceptibility level is characterized by presence of active/recent landslides, large tension cracks that would affect the community, areas with drainages that are prone to landslide damming and steep slopes (21% - 55% gradient).

The province’s topography is generally rugged, composed of rolling hills and mountainous terrains with only a small coastal plain. It is also endowed with numerous mountains and peaks which include Mt. Labo, Mt. Cadig, Mt. Bagacay, Mt. Bulawan, Mt. Alayao, Mt. Tamisan, Mt. Nalisbitan and Mt. Balagbag which dominantly formed the South-eastern Cordillera.

Land area of the province with slope more than 18% and above is accounted to 51,693 hectares or 22% of the total land area. These areas are found in the municipalities of Basud, Capalonga, Jose Panganiban, Labo, Mercedes, Paracale, San Lorenzo Ruiz, San Vicente and Sta. Elena and are prone to landslides that are influenced by excessive rainfall brought by typhoons or rainstorms, earthquakes, mining and construction activities aside from its natural factors.

No historical occurrence on rainfall-induced landslides was recorded except the incident that happened in June 2011 where five (5) people died from landslide brought by Typhoon Basyang from the municipality of Jose Panganiban. Damage to properties was also unaccounted.

With these, two (2) barangays of Basud particularly Tuaca and San Pascual, 18 barangays in Capalonga, 20 in Jose Panganiban, 19 in Labo, 9 in Mercedes, 18 barangays of Paracale, Maisog, Matacong and San Isidro of San Lorenzo Ruiz, Iraya Sur, San Jose and Fabrica in San Vicente and 9 barangays of Sta. Elena are in high susceptibility to rainfall-induced landslides. The total land area affected by this hazard is accounted to 33,885.85 has. or 14.61% of the total land area.

For areas with inactive and old landslides, moderately steep slopes of 15-30%, with small and shallow landslides ( ................
