Disaster Resilience

» New Clark City serves as the government’s back-up administrative center to ensure continuity of operations in case of a disaster. It is a master-planned community made of smart buildings, green spaces, and soon, environment-friendly transport systems to create a secure environment where residents can live, work and play.

» FLOODING. This rising metropolis is strategically located, having an elevation of 60 meters above sea level as compared to Manila’s five meters. The city’s storm drainage is also designed to accommodate a 1,000year flood level.

» EARTHQUAKE. New Clark City is approximately 19 kilometers away from the nearest fault line, the East Zambales Fault. The facilities in NGAC were also built to withstand an 8.5 magnitude earthquake.

» LAHAR FLOW. NGAC is 35 kms from Mount Pinatubo but was not reached by the lahar flow during the last eruption in 1991 because of its high elevation.

» TSUNAMIS New Clark City is 54.17 kms away from the nearest coastline.

» SUPER TYPHOONS. Super typhoons and wind velocities are minimized due to the surrounding mountain ranges of Sierra Madre and Cordillera mountains.
