Earthquake in Philippines
Geographic Context
This flood event occurred near Glan (approximately 31 km away) in Philippines, an area that experiences a range of natural hazards. An estimated 106.8K people live within 50 km of the event location, placing this in the "severe" population impact tier.
Event Assessment
This event is a flooding event detected through hydrological monitoring stations and satellite observations. Calamity.live has classified it as "high" severity with a severity value of 60. The computed Calamity Score is 49 out of 100, reflecting a moderate-impact event. The primary scoring components are: historical (80), population (70), intensity (50). Data for this event was sourced from gdacs, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.
Regional Monitoring Context
Philippines has a documented history of flood events. Monitoring for flood events in the region relies on a combination of ground-based sensors, satellite remote sensing, and official reporting from national agencies. The frequency and severity of such events are tracked over time to support risk assessment and emergency preparedness.
Cascade Risk Analysis
This event may trigger secondary hazards through cascade effects. Cascade detection is an automated process that evaluates how primary disasters can trigger secondary events — for example, earthquakes triggering landslides, or volcanic eruptions causing lahars and pyroclastic flows. These secondary hazards can sometimes pose a greater threat than the initial event, particularly in mountainous terrain or densely populated areas.

Safety Information
During flooding: never walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. Six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of water can sweep away a vehicle. Move to higher ground if waters rise. After flooding, avoid contact with floodwater which may contain sewage, chemicals, or debris. Follow local emergency service guidance.
