42. PGIS Empowers the Community
“Our risk, hazard and vulnerability
maps of the barangay were all beautiful
with hand-drawn detail. But they were
all destroyed during Typhoon Yolanda.
The pGIS project will help us to have
readily available maps wherein we can
update them anytime. It will also help
us for future infrastructure/risk
assessment planning.”
Gregorio Lantajo
Chairman of Barangay San Joaquin
Palo, Leyte
