    The document summarizes geohazard maps covering Metro Manila and vicinity that show landslide and flood susceptibility ratings. It provides parameters used to determine the ratings, including slope gradient, weathering/soil characteristics, rock mass strength, and ground stability for landslide susceptibility. It also lists factors like expected flood heights and durations used to determine very high, high, moderate, and low flood susceptibility ratings. The document includes sample maps showing variations in landslide and flood risk levels across the area.

    PARAMETERS FOR FLOOD
    SUSCEPTIBILITY RATINGS
    Very high/Critical flood Areas likely to experience flood heights in excess of 2.0 meters and/or flood duration of
    susceptibility more than 3 days. These areas are immediately flooded during heavy rains of several
    hours; include landforms of topographic lows such as active river channels, abandoned
    river channels and areas along river banks; also prone to flashfloods.

    High flood susceptibility Areas likely to experience flood heights of 1.0 to 2.0 meters and/or flood duration of
    more than 3 days. These areas are immediately flooded during heavy rains of several
    hours; include landforms of topographic lows such as active river channels, abandoned
    river channels and areas along river banks; also prone to flashfloods.

    Moderate flood Areas likely to experience flood heights of 0.5 to 1.0 meters and/or flood duration of 1 to
    susceptibility 3 days. These areas are subject to widespread inundation during prolonged and
    extensive heavy rainfall or extreme weather condition. Fluvial terraces, alluvial fans, and
    in-filled valleys are areas moderately subjected to flooding.

    Low flood susceptibility Areas likely to experience flood heights of less than 0.5 meter and/or flood duration of
    less than 1 day. These areas include low hills and gentle slopes. They also have sparse
