Response to your request

Please be informed that this Office does not have data nor maintain maps or shapefiles in relation to erosion hazard. Further, requests for shapefiles of the geologic and geohazard maps of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) are not allowed at present as the outputs for both programs are currently being updated and are under the technical review process of the MGB. Hence, the shapefiles are currently not ready for distribution nor shareable to the public pending the conclusion of the technical review process and the proper publication of the MGB maps.

However, you may obtain the soft or hard copy of the maps being requested, subject to the following information:
