UP Tacloban GIS classes organized a Hazard Maps Exhibit

28 November 2025

UP Tacloban’s CMSC 154 (Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems) and FISH 134 (Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing for Fisheries) classes organized a map exhibit on 26-27 November 2025 at the Leyte Samar Heritage Center Gallery.
 
The exhibit showcased student-produced maps of natural hazards, community vulnerabilities, and disaster preparedness across Leyte and Samar. By visualizing floods, storm surges, landslides, earthquake-prone areas, emergency services and evacuation centers, and flood control measures against vulnerable areas, the maps highlighted regional risks and provided essential tools to strengthen local disaster response, resilience, and planning.
