Information : A Seminar on Geohazards

Definition:
geohazard - can be defined as a geological state that represents or has the potential to develop further into a situation leading to damage or uncontrolled risk.

Some of the posts in this blog are about the disasters and calamities caused by geohazards. 
In fact one of the most read post is the Metro Manila Geohazard Maps : http://theprojectreview.blogspot.com/2011/10/metro-manila-geohazard-map.html. This post has maps showing the exact location and extent of major and minor fault lines in the cities of Metro Manila. The readers' interest on this post shows their concern with fault lines and earthquakes, which are two of the geohazards we have in the country.

Unfortunately, our country abounds with geohazards. But we must learn to live with them and to reduce the risk posed by them. Most of these geohazards are natural phenomena, but some are induced  or aggravated by humans (e.g. floods and landslides) due to abuse and negligence in protecting our environment and natural resources. 

For those interested of learning more of about geohazards : earthquakes, fault lines, landslides, floods, volcanic hazards, etc., here is one seminar that you might want to attend. This type of seminar is rarely offered  and this your opportunity to attend and learn from the experts. Please check poster below for details of the seminar :
