1. How can Hazard Hunter PH assist in identifying potential hazards within a given environment?

Hazard Hunter PH assists in identifying potential hazards within a given environment through comprehensive
hazard assessments, hazard mapping and monitoring, distance assessment functions, location tools, customization
options, detailed reports, and user-friendly interface. It provides valuable insights into seismic, volcanic, and
weather-related hazards, allowing users to make informed decisions, take precautions, and enhance safety and
resilience.

2. Enumerate the Types of Hazard Assessment present in the results. What are the key features and
functionalities of the Hazard Hunter application, and how do they contribute to hazard detection and
management?

The hazard assessment results for the given location include several types of hazards. Firstly, the area is considered
safe from ground rupture, with a distance of approximately 6.1 km from the Unnamed Fault. However, it is prone
to ground shaking. Liquefaction hazards are not a concern in this location as it is deemed safe. The assessment for
earthquake-induced landslides is currently being updated, so data on this specific hazard are not available at the
moment. The area is considered safe from tsunamis. The nearest active volcano is approximately 23.7 km
southeast of Banahaw. The location is safe from lahars, and there are no identified landslides caused by rain-
induced factors. However, the area is prone to ashfall hazards. In terms of severe wind, the wind speeds range
from 117.1 to 220 kph with a 20-year return period, and the same range apply for a 500-year return period. These
hazard assessments provide valuable insights into the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with various
hazards in the given environment. Features of the mobile application include distance assessment functions,
enabling the public to determine distances of specified locations from active faults, volcanoes and danger zones of
active volcanoes. Mobile users are enabled to conduct earthquake-related hazard assessment for ground rupture,
ground shaking, liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslides and tsunami. Volcanic hazards such as lava, lahars,
pyroclastic density currents, ballistic projectiles, base surge and seiches for selected active volcanoes are also made
available. Weather-related hazards included in the assessment are floods, strong winds and storm surge.

3. How do you navigate the user interface of the Hazard Hunter app effectively to locate potential
hazards in different settings such as workplaces, homes, or outdoor areas?

To navigate the user interface of the Hazard Hunter app effectively and locate potential hazards in different
settings such as workplaces, homes, or outdoor areas, I follow these steps; First, access the Hazard Hunter app on
your device or through the website. Once you're in the app, select the specific setting you want to assess, whether
it's a workplace, home, or outdoor area. Next, provide the location you wish to evaluate for potential hazards. You
can enter the address, input the coordinates (longitude and latitude), or use the map interface to visually pinpoint
the area. After specifying the location, you may have the option to choose the specific hazard assessment
parameters. This could involve selecting certain hazard types or customizing the assessment criteria. Once you've
set the parameters, initiate the hazard assessment process. The app will analyze the location based on the selected
criteria and generate a hazard assessment report. Take the time to review the report, which will provide details
about the identified hazards, their level of risk, and any recommended actions or precautions. Based on the
information in the report, you can then take appropriate measures to address the identified hazards, such as
implementing safety measures, making necessary changes, or seeking professional guidance. By following these
steps and utilizing the features of the Hazard Hunter app, you can effectively navigate the user interface and locate
potential hazards in different settings, enabling you to make informed decisions and take proactive steps to ensure
safety in those environments.

4. What are the nearest critical facilities in your place of residence? Why is this information important
for you and your family?

The nearest critical facilities in your place of residence include Parang Pinagbayanan Es Public Elementary School,
Talipan Nhs Public Secondary School, Ikirin Barangay Health Station, Jane County Hospital, Inc., Daang Maharlika
(LZ); Quezon (first District) Primary Road Network, and MSR Old Route; Quezon (first District) Secondary Road
Network. This information is important for me and my families because it provides knowledge about the nearby
facilities that will play a crucial role in our community, as people can evacuate in these facilities. Knowing the
proximity of schools, health facilities, and road networks can be vital during emergencies or times of need. For
example, in the event of a medical emergency, knowing the location and distance to the nearest hospital or health
facility can help you seek prompt medical assistance. Similarly, being aware of nearby schools and road networks
can aid in planning transportation routes for daily commutes or during times of evacuation. Understanding the
proximity of critical facilities enhances your preparedness and enables you to make informed decisions for the
well-being and safety of your family.
