LAOAG CITY, Philippines—An environment official said the devastating floods that struck Northern Mindanao last month could happen in this city and outlying towns because of their topography.

Juan de los Reyes, provincial environment and natural resources officer, said flood mapping conducted by the University of the Philippines’ National Institute of Geological Sciences (UP-NIGS) is closely similar to a geohazard mapping that the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) prepared for the Ilocos region.

Based on the study of UP geologists, Ilocos cities that include Laoag, Vigan and Alaminos are vulnerable to disastrous floods because their topography is similar to Iligan and Cagayan de Oro cities.

In its website (www.nababaha.com), the UP-NIGS flood hazard mapping showed low to high flood risks in some villages in Laoag that run parallel to the Padsan River.

Similar flood intensities, ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 meters deep, were noted in neighboring Bacarra town where villages straddle the Bislak River.

The garmin fell out the window when the tornado flipped the truck the wrecker driver dropped the truck on that GPS 20 to 30 times he had a time trying to up right the truck it pounded that gps into the ground. I was a trucker and my truck was flipped over by a tornado I was using a garmin hand held gps clonnected to the laptop. ALso for example, I got two deer last year, and I have no idea what tree I was in. I wish I had them mapped so i would know were I was.
