Excerpts from Mindanao Times Sunday Jan 24, 2010 pages 2 & 12
Due to continuous rain in Region-XI, Department of Environment and Natural Resources Regional Director Jim O. Sampulma is reiterating his call to all local government units and the public to be vigilant as possible landslides or even flash floods may hit their respective areas. . . .
Since 2007 the MGB had already recommended to LGU's that appropriate warning signages be installed in landslide areas, especially areas close to settlements and affected roads. . . . because continuous rain will loosen the soil and may result to unexpected landslide.
. . . Recent study also disclosed that some parts of Marilog District and Matina Shrine Hills, Davao City are either moderately or highly susceptible to landslides.
