Climatological Features

15. Areas with high susceptibility to floods are
likely to experience flood heights of 1 meter
up to 2 meters and/or flood duration of
more than 3 days. Sites including active river
channels, abandoned river channels, and areas
along riverbanks, are immediately flooded
during heavy rains of several hours and are
prone to flash floods. These may be
considered not suitable for permanent
habitation but may be developed for
alternative uses subject to the implementation
of appropriate mitigation measures
About 77.9% of the City is susceptible to
liquefaction, with more than half categorized
as highly susceptible. In terms of barangay
land area, Kapitolyo and Ugong are the least
in danger of this hazard, with only 3.6% and
16.5% respectively being highly susceptible.
Meanwhile, half of Bagong Ilog and Pineda’s
territory are highly prone to liquefaction.
Unfortunately, Barangay Pinagbuhatan is
71% highly exposed, while the rest of the
barangays are 99% to 100% highly prone to
liquefaction.

The site is strategically positioned with numerous
access points to essential infrastructure, including
commercial establishments, residential
neighborhoods, and institutional buildings.
Adjacent to an informal settlement, the site
experiences high levels of noise and pollution.
The corner lot, separated from informal
settlements and other establishments by a road,
allows for more flexible design and construction.
The surrounding vegetation also improves wind
flow and adds a unique atmosphere to the site.
The site's limited size and narrow roadway
