City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head, Alfredo Baloran said the affected families were evacuated safely and there were no casualties in the incident.
The families took temporary shelter at GKK San Miguel in said barangay.
Baloran in an interview with City Information Office (CIO) said that his office instructed the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Center (BDRRMC) to evacuate the affected families to the evacuation area in Upper West Marahan covered court but they were transferred by the BDRRMC to the GKK chapel because it has walls.
The landslides reportedly occurred due to intermittent strong winds and rain showers brought about by Tropical Depression Agaton.
As of April 12, three families have remained at the GKK San Miguel while others have returned to their residences or stayed at nearby relatives.
Based on the CDRRMO geohazard risk assessment, the landslide affected three houses located on an unstable slope with water-saturated and weak underlying earth materials.
Adjacent house structures were identified in the landslide-prone area and some cracks in remaining adjacent structures were observed.
Baloran said another landslide occurred on Monday afternoon in Sitio Epol, Barangay Baganihan that partly covered one lane of the Davao - Bukidnon road. No one was reported affected.
A road clearing had been conducted by the City Engineer's Office and the barangay to avoid traffic obstruction.
Baloran reminded residents of the landslide-prone areas in Marilog to stay alert because of the continued weather disturbances.
He said residents along tributaries from Marilog to Suawan River and Davao River should stay alert for possible rise of water level in river channels.
