List of geologic hazards that may damage Roxas City 1. Ground shaking caused by earthquake=the whole of Roxas City will shake in case of a large earthquake. 2. Liquefaction=the solid ground might become soft during and after a large earthquake. It will cause houses to tilt and submerge. It will also cause damages to infrastructure.(See attached map) 3. Earthquake-generated tsunami = our coastal areas are not highly prone(see attached map) 4. Ground rupture=only the towns of Jamindan and Tapaz in case of a large earthquake. 5. Ash fall=in case of major eruption by Kanlaon Volcano.
