The records underneath are the government’s. No copyright subsists in a work of the Government of the Philippines (Republic Act 8293, Sec. 176), though the law asks for the office’s approval before such a work is exploited for profit. What the licence covers is BetterBARMM’s own work on them: reading them, putting them in tables and describing every column.

ODbL 1.0
The hazard exposure tables are built from Project NOAH’s hazard maps and OpenStreetMap, both shared under the Open Database License, so they are shared under it too. Credit Project NOAH, OpenStreetMap contributors and BetterBARMM, and a database you publish built on them must be shared under the ODbL as well.

Facts only
The news table lists where a story is: the outlet, the date, the headline and the link. The stories are the outlets’ and stay theirs; their teasers are left out for that reason. Link to the story rather than copying it.

No warranty
The tables are given as they are. Each says where its records come from and what they cannot tell you; check a figure against its source before you rest a decision on it. If you find a mistake, tell us and it will be corrected for everyone.
