The document discusses the role of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in disaster management related to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis. It details a classification system for volcanoes in the country, outlining active, potentially active, and inactive categories. Additionally, it highlights various programs focused on increasing public awareness and preparedness for natural disasters in the Philippines, particularly in Mindanao.

3. A service institute of the Department of Science and Technology.
• Mandated to lessen the impact of disasters that may arise from
volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other elated
geotectonic phenomena.
• Geotectonic – relation to the formation. The arrangement or
structure of the rocks.

4. CONTRIBUTIONS TO
THE PHILIPPINES
• Provides a classification system for the volcanoes of the
country

5. Active
• Erupted in historic times
• Has a historical record of erupting within 600
years.
• Oral or Folkloric History
(ex. of Active Volcanoes; Taal, Mayon, Pinatubo and
Canlaon)
Potentially active
• Active steaming activity (Earth's crust is open
and emits steam and gases.)
• Possibly erupted for less than 10,000 years or
some for less than 25, 000 years.
• Has caused local ground deformation.
• (ex. Mount Apo, Mount Arayat, Mandalagan,
Mount Balatukan)

6. InActive
• No record of eruption and volcano's form
is changed or affected by agents of
weathering and erosion. (In this sense, a
volcano could lose its form.)

7. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
development of science and
technology in the philippines
• Provides a classification system for the volcanoes of the
country.
• Has many other programs and projects relating to its field of
work with the goal of spreading awareness to the Filipino
people and prevent or lessen the impact of such natural
disasters.

8. • LANDSLIDE MONITORING, EARLY
WARNING AND RISK ASSESSMENT.
• VOLCANO, EARTHQUAKE AND
TSUNAMI DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
AND RISK REDUCTION.
• NATIONAL TSUNAMI MONITORING
AND EARLY WARNING.
• NATIONAL EARTHQUAKE
MONITORING INFORMATION
• NATIONAL VOLCANO MONITORING
AND WARNING
• EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS AND RISK
ASSESSMENT AND RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT.

9. CONTRIBUTIONS TO
mindanao
• The Earthquake Monitoring System here in Mindanao which is keen
on updates about new fault lines and systems like the recent
October 2019 Cotabato Fault System.
