FLASH FLOOD. A community in Banaue, Ifugao is left covered in mud and debris on July 11, 2022, following a flash flood last July 7. A team from the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council is in Ifugao to find out the actual damage as well as the cause of the flash flood. (PNA photo from the FB of PNP-Banaue) BAGUIO CITY - The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) said on Wednesday that initial findings showed that the continuous rain in Banaue, Ifugao drenched the soil so much that it was no longer able to hold water, leading to the flash floods that hit the town last week. "Based on site photographs of the MDRRMO and the ones documented by residents posted on social media, the flash flooding was accompanied by mud and debris thus earthflow was apparent. If indeed that rainfall preceded from July 2 to to 6, interpretatively, oversaturation has occurred within the underlying lithology of the affected area, thus, voluminous surface run-off is expected." said Fay Apil,
