This document provides information on Tagum City in the Philippines, including its location, population, climate, hazards, and climate change adaptation plan (LCCAP). Key points: - Tagum City has a population of 259,444 and is located on the island of Mindanao. It has a tropical climate with rainfall evenly distributed throughout the year. - Major hazards include flooding, landslides, sea level rise, storm surge, earthquakes, liquefaction, and potential tsunamis.

AND
GEOPHYSICAL FEATURES

4. Topography: Generally flat with rolling portions in the northern
Part of the City

5. Hydrogeology:
Recent Alluvium Acquifer consist
of outwash, valley
fill, river and coastal deposits of
clay, silt, sand and gravel, corals
and other marine carbonates.
These unconsolidated, partly
compacted deposits are less than 1
– 20 meters thick.
Depth to water is from 0 to less
than 10 meters below land surface

6. River System:
2 Major River Systems:
Liboganon River
Hijo River
Commonly, outfall areas in the
City are drained into the
Davao gulf which also serves
as the major outfall area of the
municipalities and cities
surrounding the gulf.

7. Land Use
Tagum’s physical development has
generally followed a multi-nodal
pattern based on the 2011 – 2025
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
The plan should be able to pro
vide adequate spaces to ensure that
the city will
accommodate future
expansion of its urban areas and
absorb the space
requirement for commercial,
institutional and industrial
development.

8. Level IV - rainfall is more or less evenly distributed
throughout the year.
2020 Projection - Rainfall: reduction of rainfall during summer and habagat
seasons and a slight increase during amihan season
2020 Projection – Temperature: increase will range from 0.9 ⁰C to 1.20 ⁰C and by
2050, from 1.90 ⁰C to 2.5 ⁰C.

9. Tagum City’s
Climate Change
Action Plan is a 12-
year plan that will
help the city
become climate
change adaptive
and resilient

10. Goals:
1. building the adaptive capacities of men and women in their
communities;
2. increasing the resilience of vulnerable sectors and natural
ecosystems to climate change; and
3. optimizing mitigation opportunities towards gender-
responsive and rights-based sustainable development.

11. Objectives:
1. to ensure availability, stability, accessibility and affordability
of safe and healthy food amidst climate change;
2. to ensure the resilience of water resources, manage supply
and demand, manage water quality and promote
conservation;
3. to protect and rehabilitate critical ecosystems and restore
ecological services;
4. to reduce the risks of women and men to climate
change and disasters;

12. Objectives Con’t:
5. to create green and eco-jobs and sustainable consumption and
production;
6. to promote and expand energy efficiency and conservation
and develop sustainable and renewable energy,
environmentally sustainable transport; and
7. to enhance the knowledge on climate change, capacity for
climate change adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk reduction

14. Situational Analyses
Hazards and Disasters
• Flood
• Landslide (Rain induced)
• Sea-level Rise
• Storm Surge
• Earthquake Related Hazards
• Liquefaction
• Tsunami

15. Historically, flooding and landslide are frequent in the city
with an estimated occurrence of once every 1-3 years and sea
level rise affects the communities at a very minimal prevalent
rate while the rest of the identified hazards are just potential in
the locality.
