DESCRIPTION:Disasters like typhoons\, earthquakes\, and flooding are inevit
 able\, especially as climate change intensifies. This heightens the need f
 or effective information sharing\, which some governments have addressed b
 y sending out timely digital alerts. While large organizations work to pre
 pare communities for disasters\, local knowledge often gets overlooked des
 pite its critical role in understanding a hazard’s impact. Residents pos
 sess intimate knowledge of their surroundings\, which becomes invaluable d
 uring emergencies for identifying evacuation routes and understanding the 
 landscape. In creating a disaster risk assessment\, selecting data sources
  is crucial\, as demonstrated by the Metro Manila Climate and Disaster Ris
 k Atlas. This atlas\, created using QGIS and OSM\, assesses hazards in Met
 ro Manila—a region prone to a potential 7.2 magnitude earthquake due to 
 the West Valley Fault System. Leveraging these tools\, provides a comprehe
 nsive view of risks\, empowering communities with vital information about 
 the vulnerabilities and resilience of their locales. The project exemplifi
 es how integrating local and digital knowledge fosters a safer\, more prep
 ared society.
