My Community’s Transect Map and Disaster Timeline
Brgy. Magsaysay is split into two sections, the one in the highway, and one street going towards our municipal hall and our town’s church.
Our barangay is situated relatively high above sea-level, and near the highways away from the foot of the Cordillera mountain ranges, that is why our barangay district rarely sees any disaster in the recent years.
The barangay has implemented the following in response to the past disasters and in anticipating more in the future:
- Development of the sea wall to prevent erosion of the national highway
- Tree planting near the creek and the landslide-prone areas
- Paving of dirt roads inland with cement to prevent soil erosion during heavy storms
- Evacuation centers
