DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES‘ PROGRAMS
1) Geohazard Mapping and Assessment Program OBJECTIVES • Identify areas in the country which are susceptible or vulnerable to various geologic hazards; • Provide information to various stakeholders to lessen or mitigate the impact of geologic hazards. Geohazard Map reproduced by Mines and Geosciences Bureau showing areas that are prone to landslides and flooding in the Phiippines
TARGETS: 2014-2016 Supporting Total Action Plan 2014 2015 2016 Departments / Budget Agencies Action 1: a. Detailed geohazards DOST 684* cities/ P 1.001 B assessment of NAMRIA municipalities cities/municipalities at 1:10,000 DND/OCD-NDRRMC scale DILG b.

The Geohazard Mapping and Assessment Program Accomplishments: Identified the Top 10 provinces highly susceptible to landslides and Top 10 provinces highly susceptible to Distributed a total of 75,000 map sheets to all local government units; flooding; Started the preparation of more detailed geohazard maps in Completed the geohazard assessment and mapping of all the 2011, with scale of 1:10,000, initially targeting 218 municipalities. 1,634 cities and municipalities, with a scale of 1:50,000;
2) National Greening Program (NGP) One of the key underlying risk drivers of climate change is the loss of forest cover. In 2005, the DENR-Forest Management Bureau (DENR_FMB) and the FAO-FRA announced that the Philippine forest cover increased to 7.391 million ha. In 2010, our forests supposedly increased to 7.665 million ha. This covers only around 25.6% of the country’s 30 million ha land area, way below the 54% ideal forest cover for tropical countries.
TARGETS OF NGP: 2014-2016 To combat Supporting the alarming low Action Plan 2014 2015 2016 Total Budget Departments/ Agencies forest cover of Philippines: DA P 21.27 B Implement the 400,000 ha* 450,000 ha (30,357 DAR planted planted persons National Greening DepEd employed) Program DSWD DOST (100,000 (112,500 DILG persons persons SUCs employed) employed) NAPC DND YEAR BUDGET (in Billions) 2014 7.70 2015 11.10 *19,159 ha (for Yolanda stricken areas) 2016 2.47 * Completed 667 hectares planted (January 2014 – June 30, 2014) TOTAL 21.27 B
