The analysis was done using the InaSAFE plugin in QGIS 3.16 to assess the impact of the rain-induced landslide on building structures that happened in Kantagnos, Baybay City, last April 10, 2022. The results showed that there were 82 building structures exposed. Corroboratively, based on the preliminary satellite-derived flood and landslide assessment in Leyte and Southern Leyte Provinces conducted by the International Charter Space and Major Disasters/ UNOSAT, 83 structures in Kantagnos village was heavily damaged and/or destroyed as of April 17, 2022.
