The address-intelligence read every Filipino buyer deserves before they commit. Floods, faults, landslides, storm surges, translated into the call you'd defend at the bank, in front of family, on the way home.

◢ Precision intelligence

Nine specialized hazard layers,
cross-indexed per address.

Every report runs your coordinates against these nine independent datasets, each maintained by a Philippine government agency or open-data project.

Layers per report09

01 / 09

Flood Susceptibility

Will this property flood in the next typhoon, and how deep? Read against 5/25/100-year return periods so you know whether it's a normal-season risk or a once-a-generation event.

NOAH / UP5 / 25 / 100 yr

02 / 09

Active Faults

How close is the nearest fault to your future bedroom? The 5 m no-build setback isn't optional, and the 1 km advisory band changes the structural design your engineer must specify.

GEM / PHIVOLCS163 named

03 / 09

Landslide Risk

If the lot is on a slope (or near one), we surface what the soil and gradient could do under heavy rainfall. Sendong-type events still happen every year.

NOAH / UPL / M / H

04 / 09

Storm Surge

For coastal addresses: does the ocean reach the front door in a typical typhoon, or only in a once-in-a-generation super-storm? The SSA1–4 bands tell you which.

NOAH / UPSSA 1–4

05 / 09

Liquefactionest

Soil that turns to liquid during shaking is the difference between a cracked wall and a tilted house. Flagged on every address when the proxies push past safe.

Modeled from DEM + fault proximityest.

06 / 09

Waterway Proximity

Creeks and esteros are the second-biggest reason Filipino homes flood. Named, distance-measured, and checked against the Water Code easement that bans construction.

OpenStreetMap125,987

07 / 09

Elevation & Slope

How high above sea level. How steep the lot. Two numbers that quietly drive flood depth, drainage cost, and whether your foundation needs engineering you didn't budget for.

OpenTopography SRTM GL130 m DEM

08 / 09

Debris Flow & Alluvial Fans

Some lots sit in the path of debris that flowed there during the last super-typhoon. We flag when MGB has mapped the parcel inside one of these zones. It changes the foundation conversation.

NOAH / MGB-DENRexposure

09 / 09

Volcanic Proximity

Within 10 km is the danger zone. 30 km gets ashfall during eruptions. 100 km affects insurance riders. Mayon, Taal, Pinatubo proximity belongs on every PH report.

PHIVOLCS24 active

◢ Sample report

Detailed insight
for high-stakes decisions.

CheckHazard generates a comprehensive hazard dossier for any Philippine address, accurate to the 10–50m geocoding bounds of Google’s street-level resolution.

01 / 04

Auditable methodology

Every threshold is named in the report: the 50-meter proximity buffer that catches edge-of-zone properties, the 5/25/100-year flood return periods tagged on each polygon, and the slope and elevation cutoffs behind every Low/Moderate/High verdict.

11 formulas

02 / 04

Institutional precision

Seven open-licensed PH datasets stitched together: UP NOAH flood, landslide, and storm-surge polygons; PHIVOLCS active faults and volcanoes; MGB-DENR geohazards; PSA NAMRIA admin boundaries; and OpenTopography SRTM 30-meter elevation rasters.

7 datasets

03 / 04

Plain-English findings

Each section opens with a How to read this intro so you don't need a planner or geologist to interpret the result. A Rating Guide at the back of every report explains the 5-level severity scale and the threshold bands behind each verdict.

10 sections

04 / 04

Decision-grade context

Beyond the polygons, every report translates risk into action. Insurance Guidance maps each hazard to flood, earthquake, and volcano premium bands; Legal Constraints flags Water Code easements and PHIVOLCS fault buffers that affect what you can build; Historical Events compares your address to Ondoy 2009, Yolanda 2013, and Ulysses 2020 with measured inundation depths.

Homebuyers

Before paying a reservation fee or signing a 20-year mortgage, see how the address compares to Ondoy 2009, Yolanda 2013, and Ulysses 2020, with measured flood depth, fault distance, and the insurance riders the property would trigger.

Step 01
Type any Philippine address
Google Places suggests as you type: partial inputs, misspellings, Filipino place names. Every address is geocoded once; revisits hit our cache, so the same lookup never costs you twice.

Step 02
Every layer that matters to your decision
Floods, faults, landslides, storm surges, volcano proximity, slope, elevation. Cross-checked against the same authoritative datasets a licensed planner or underwriter would consult. Cited line by line in your report so you can defend the read in front of family, the bank, or the building official.
