LEGAZPI CITY – Albay Gov. Joey Salceda has ordered the forced evacuation of 124 families in two villages in Libon town, as a hillside there could erode anytime.
This, as the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council’s landslide advance monitoring team found cracks on the hillside in Puroks 2 and 3 in Barangay Burabod, about five kilometers from the Libon town proper.
The hillside was also found to be sitting on a fault line.
"This is in line with our policy of zero casualty," Salceda said.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan placed the province under a state of calamity last Feb. 21 after continuous rainfall triggered flash floods and landslides.
