  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • Flood Risk Assessment of Major River Basins in the Philippines
    International Journal of GEOMATE, Dec., 2019 Vol.17, Issue 64, pp. 201- 208 ISSN: 2186-2982 (P), 2186-2990 (O), Japan, DOI: https://doi.org/10.21660/2019.64.17155 Geotechnique, Construction Materials and Environment FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT OF MAJOR RIVER BASINS IN THE PHILIPPINES Christian Dominick Q. Alfonso1, Marloe B. Sundo*2, Richelle G. Zafra2, Perlie P. Velasco2, Jedidiah Joel C. Aguirre2 and Marish S. Madlangbayan2 1University of the Philippines Los Baños Foundation, Inc., Philippines; 2University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines *Corresponding Author, Received: 00 Oct. 2019, Revised: 00 Nov. 2019, Accepted: 00 Dec. 2019 ABSTRACT: Disaster risk management is vital in strengthening the resilience to and reduction of losses brought by natural disasters. In Philippines where typhoons frequently occur, flood risk maps are essential for the protection of communities and ecosystems in watersheds. This study created flood inundation maps with climate change considerations under 2020 A1B1 and 2050 A1B1 scenarios for four major river basins in the Philippines: the Agno, Cagayan, Mindanao, and Buayan-Malungon River Basins. From these maps, the most vulnerable areas for each basin are identified using GIS mapping software. Sixteen inundation risk maps were generated, four for each river basin, in terms of built-up areas, roads, bridges, and dams. Results showed that the northern part of Cagayan River Basin and the central parts of the Agno and Mindanao River Basins are the most flood-prone areas, while the Buayan-Malungon River Basin will have no significant inundation problems. Suitable adaptation and mitigation options were provided for each river basin. Keywords: Disaster risk reduction, Climate change adaption, Inundation, Risk Mapping 1.
