B. Assessment Re Mayon Operations 1. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) • Water problem was addressed in Sto. Domingo and Camalig where two water purifiers are available. The tankers from Candaba, Pampanga were rationing water to these areas where potable water was a problem. • Water jugs/containers were provided by the LGUs and NGOs for storing potable water. • One hundred (100) units of portalets are in place in all evacuation centers. Based on my assessment, the number will suffice as kybo toilets are still being built. As soon as the kybo toilets are ready, the portalets can be pulled out.

    Geography and Public Planning: Albay and Disaster Risk Management Agnes Espinas HDN DISCUSSION PAPER SERIES PHDR ISSUE 2012/2013 NO. 4 HDN Discussion Papers are commissioned by HDN for the purpose of producing the Philippine Human Development Reports. This research is funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Papers under the Discussion Paper Series are unedited and unreviewed. The views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Network. Not for quotation without permission from the author(s) and the Network.

INTRODUCTION Geologic characteristics and natural features are determinants of development. In the Philippines, where topographic variation is apparent, the level of development can be associated with the physical characteristics of an area. The pace of economic growth may be hampered as environmental processes and phenomena brought about by topographic variations pose as constraints and limitations to development initiatives in the different parts of the country. This study takes off from the influence of geography on disasters as environmental phenomena that influences the course of development. It focuses on the province of Albay and how it rises to the challenge of its geography which, because of its location and geologic character, rendered it vulnerable to risks and hazards brought about by disasters. Purposely, the study will review the institutional creation and reforms and the policies and strategies formulated for all sectors that aimed to address the negative impacts of the disasters and the vulnerability of the communities in the province.

Section 2: Narrative Summary Background On 13 January 2018, the Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) declared Alert Level 2 over Mt. Mayon, which means the volcano has been under the state of unrest. Since then phreatic eruptions have been observed in the volcano, expelling grayish steam and ash fumes in for more than a week. This resulted to class and work suspension in areas affected by ash fall events. As of January 15, a total of 5,318 families (21,823 individuals) have been displaced, with 4,134 families (16,877 persons) staying in 18 evacuation centers. A state of calamity was declared over the province of Albay last January 16. Alert Level 4 was then raised on January 22 that remains until now, which means hazardous eruption is imminent. Since then continuous intense but sporadic lava fountaining and ash fall, with occasional rock fall events were observed.
