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	168 of 308 mapped	₱7.8B (74%)
Flood (100-year)	71 of 308 mapped	₱4.3B (41%)
Landslide	70 of 308 mapped	₱5.8B (55%)
Storm surge	69 of 308 mapped	₱1.3B (12%)

High shares can be expected (flood-control works belong in flood zones) or worth a closer look (schools, buildings).
