Description: This dataset contains municipal‑level landslide hazard values derived from a composite susceptibility model built using DEM‑derived slope, long‑term rainfall patterns, and soil/geological characteristics. A weighted overlay was used to generate the regional landslide susceptibility raster, reflecting the combined influence of steep gradients, high precipitation, and weak or weathered soil conditions on slope instability. Zonal Statistics were applied to calculate susceptibility metrics for each municipality, with the median value selected as the most robust indicator of overall landslide hazard. The resulting values were joined to the municipal boundary layer and classified into categorical hazard levels for integration into multi‑hazard assessments, geotechnical risk reduction strategies, and development planning processes.
