Dr. Mahar Lagmay studied overseas to be a geologist specializing in volcanos, and realized the skills he learned could be applied to disaster analysis and preparedness.
He emphasizes the need for updated hazard maps that consider climate change impacts and also tackles the importance of “citizen scientists” to assist in collecting data for disaster prevention efforts especially that the Philippines is prone to disasters.
Lagmay also asserts that science should be above politics, but political meddling plagues scientific work and disaster preparedness. Watch this episode of The Howie Severino Podcast featuring Dr. Mahar Lagmay of the UP Resilience Institute. #GMAIntegratedNews #KapusoStream
