Hazard check
Is public money going where the hazards are?
Search a province, city, town or barangay, or a DPWH project name or contract ID. You’ll see how its projects sit on official flood, landslide, storm-surge and active-fault maps, next to what was spent.

Hazard vs. spending
| Hazard | Projects in med/high zone | Spending in med/high zone |
|---|---|---|
| Within 5 km of active fault | 0 of 64 mapped | — (0%) |
| Flood (100-year) | 13 of 63 mapped | ₱117.3M (16%) |
| Landslide | 43 of 63 mapped | ₱505.3M (70%) |
| Storm surge | 3 of 63 mapped | ₱28M (4%) |
High shares can be expected (flood-control works belong in flood zones) or worth a closer look (schools, buildings).
