Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Nine flood prone areas in Metro Manila were listed by the Science department’s Project Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (Project NOAH) on Thursday (July 9).
The areas are part of a partial list collected by Project NOAH, which include news reports sourced from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
Here is the partial list of vulnerable areas:
Manila

Monsoon rains
Even though it’s not expected to make landfall, the presence of Typhoon Falcon (international name: Chan-hom) is expected to enhance the southwest monsoon.
The monsoon rains may trigger flashfloods and landslides not only in Metro Manila but in the regions of Ilocos, Cordillera, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and Mimaropa, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 5:00 a.m. weather forecast.
At around 9:57 a.m., PAGASA released an urban flood alert, where it reported tire and gutter deep floods in barangays at Marikina and Quezon City.
