1. Introductionnvironment refers to our surroundings – all living and non-living things that exist surrounded by other things that occur naturally on earth. The components of the environment are inextricably linked; no component exists in total isolation and
nothing can be changed without affecting something else. Consequently, the environment cannot be assessed by simply examining its components in isolation. Instead, they must be considered as parts of the whole. This concept is crucial in understanding the role which humans play affecting their environment.
ERoad development project, if undertaken without proper understanding of the relationships inherent in environmental functions, can cause serious disruptions to the environment from which it may take a long time to regain equilibrium. In human terms, this may mean that generations must function in a debilitated environment and suffer many possible associated socio-economic hardships and financial losses. Thus, the integrity and carrying capacity of the environment and natural resources are not to be degraded, rather conserved, protected and enhanced in the process of any development. Environmental protection is viewed as a shared and indivisible responsibility of all individuals, families, communities, and other institutions to achieve environmental sustainability.
This paper presents the description of the environment of Agusan del Sur particularly its topography and land features, soil types, climate and rainfall, identified significant sites, and protected areas including ancestral domain and the over all characteristics of the province.
1.2. Objective
The main objective of this paper is to describe the updated data and information of Agusan del Sur relative to its climate and rainfall, identified significant sites, and protected areas including ancestral domain and the overall characteristics as well as Risk Disaster Reduction data, which can be considered in the selection of road investment programs.

2. Relevant Data and Information
1.2.2.1. Climate and RainfallGeographically, the province is situated below the typhoon belt. But it is usually affected by depressions forming in the typhoon prone regions of Visayas and Surigao del Norte. The Climate Map of the Philippines is based on modified coronas classification where the province falls under Type II.
Type II climate has no dry season but with pronounced maximum rain period that occurs from December to January. The province has not experienced a single dry month. This climate is generally felt in areas near the eastern coast, which are open to the northeast monsoon.
Agusan del Sur has an average daily rainfall of 11.00434 mm for the last five years (2006-2010).

2.4. Disaster Risk ReductionAgusan del Sur identified six hazards that could possibly be experienced by the province, but the yearly hazards that occurred and incurred damages are floods, rain-induced landslide, and ground rupture.
Areas within Agusan Marsh and along rivers are the areas prone to flooding but could not experience flash floods because it is a catch basin of the waters from Compostela Valley, Bukidnon, and Surigao provinces. It covers a total area of 110,069 hectares, absorbing flood waters during long rainy seasons that happen from October to February.
Areas within 50o slopes and above which are present in the 13 municipalities are areas prone to rain-induced landslide as shown in the hazard map and in tables affected by landslides.
2.5. FloodingOn flooding and rain-induced landslides, the province aims to manage a fatality of one person per one hundred thousand populations. As shown in the computation on fatality (see Table 6), the province will manage to fall on Level 1, (less than l fatality per 100,000 population in a year). On vulnerability level, a number of barangays are considered as highly vulnerable thus initiatives will be done to mitigate such risk particularly by the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. Table 7 shows the population and barangay at risk during flooding.

Level Value Description Priority

2.6. Rain-induced Landslide and Ground MovementAlmost all the barangays of the municipality of Sibagat are prone to landslide. It could be observed that portion of the National Highway located in the municipality have been under repair due to landslide and ground movement. Other landslide prone municipalities are Bayugan, Esperanza, San Francisco, La Paz, Loreto, Bunawan, and Prosperidad.
To reduce risk, hazard prone areas should not be used for settlement; but as shown in the hazard maps, these are regular barangays that are within the landslide prone areas. On areas like these, preparedness plan should be effected to avoid fatality, loss of crops and properties. All the 314 barangays of Agusan del Sur are within levels 3, 4 and 5.

2.7. Ground RuptureOn underground rupture, the river municipalities are within the major fault lines. These are the municipalities of Esperanza, San Luis, Talacogon, La Paz, Loreto, and Veruela.
Sibagat, San Francisco, Prosperidad are also affected by ground rupture due to geological contacts, which are observed in the National Highways. Lianga fault connects Bayugan passing through Prosperidad to the municipality of Lianga.
On risk management, settlements and infrastructure projects should not be constructed near fault lines.
2.8. LiquefactionOn liquefaction, the Talacogon Lake is identified to be prone to liquefaction with the major fault line traversing the lake.
2.9. DroughtThe province seldom experienced drought due to its geographical location, climate and rainfall pattern.
