Abstract
This research study assessed the susceptibility and proximity of DepEd elementary and high schools in Agusan del Sur Province to landslide hazard. The study utilized data from the NOAH Project, of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). Landslide hazard data are categorized into three susceptibility levels (Low=1, Medium=2, and High=3). Using geospatial techniques, the assessment reveals that out of 551 schools, 90 are within the landslide zones- an average of 5.44%. Out of the 90 schools 14 are on the high level of susceptibility. An average of 94.56% are proximate to the landslide zone, of which 770m is the closest distance and azimuth to the nearest potential hazard. The results of the study is expected to help policy makers and administrators in DepEd of Agusan del Sur in landslide hazard mitigation planning. The results can further give awareness and preparedness to LGU and NDRRMC in crafting precautionary measures for the lives of the school children and DepEd personnel.
