1. The Project
The Geospatial Information Management and Analysis Project for Hazards and Risk Assessment in the Philippines or GeoriskPH provides data governance, develops analytic methods, and produces products using geospatial data. The project envisions to benefit government agencies conducting risk reduction measures by reducing data silos and providing innovative methods for data analysis. GeoriskPH intends to provide platforms and methods that would enhance research and the delivery of geospatial information, especially for hazards and risk analyses. GeoriskPH is designed to accommodate more geospatial systems and risk data so that it evolves over time to meet the Philippines growing need for efficient hazards and risk assessments.
