Buli is a Barangay from the
municipality of Taal located in the
province of Batangas, Region IV-A
of the Philippines.
Tectonic and volcanic activities are
very evident, minor and major faults
are found nearby .
The area is prone to volcanic
eruption, earthquakes, and ashfall.
The area is mostly composed of
some sedimentary rocks and
volcanic rock layers.
Volcanic rocks found in the area are
composed of andesite, basalt and
pumice.
Sedimentary layers are found with
limestone and shale composites.
The area is known to be 15,487m
away from the nearest volcanoTaal.
Based on the rock layers found in the area, the
following Exogenic Processes might possibly
happen:
Erosion:
• The process where rocks are broken down
by natural forces such as wind/water
Deposition:
• the geological process in which
sediments, soil and rocks are
added to a landform or landmass
Mass Movements:
• The process where large
natural components are moved
from one place to another.
As seen from the map , The Municipality
of Taal is prone to:
Ground Shaking
Earthquake-Induced Landslide
Rain-Induced Landslide
Ashfall
Volcanic Eruptions
The Area is set as Intensity VIII by
PHIVLOCS, Indicating that the area is
highly destructive ground shaking.
However, the area is SAFE
from major landslides, as the area is
lying low and there are no higher
grounds that could potentially erode.
Because the area is nearby Taal Volcano which is an active
volcano, and if the tectonic plates continue to move, these
Endogenic processes will most likely continue:
Vulcanism:
• The process of eruption of magma
from the beneath the Earth’s surface
Plutonism:
•The formation of intrusive igneous rock
by solidification of magma beneath the
earth's surface.
Earthquakes:
• The sudden release of strain energy in
the Earth's crust, resulting in waves of
shaking that radiate outwards from the
earthquake source, mostly because of
volcanic and tectonic activities.
IF THE EVENTS MENTIONED ABOVE
OCCURS, RESIDENTS OF THE AREA MUST:
Prepare Emergency Kits Containing:
Flashlight
Canned Foods
Documents
Money
Clothes
Radio
Batteries
Water
Whistle
Create Plan For Readiness:
Residents must plan an escape or
emergency route
Familiarize nearby Evacuation
Facilities
Watch the news
Stay alert about the surroundings
This Hazard Mapping aims to
inform people of the area to be
aware of the possible events that
might happen in their location. By
doing so, the community is educated
and equipped with readiness in case
these natural disasters occur. Hence,
accidents are less likely to occur
because everyone is provided with
Emergency Readiness and Disaster
Response.
