One of the problems that arise due to typhoon and flooding is the generation of large volumes of disaster wastes, which poses threats to the environment and human health when not managed properly. This study focused on the identification of suitable locations of temporary storage sites (TSS) for disaster wastes using geographic information system to address gaps in disaster waste management. A set of criteria for selection was established based on the guidelines of the United Nations Environment/Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Joint Unit (UNEP/OCHA), with constraints set based on existing guidelines and past studies. Map layers were standardized using Boolean logic, and the criteria were analyzed using ArcGIS Pro and Google Earth Pro. Areas in the Province of Cavite having high disaster risks, particularly Cavite City, Noveleta, and Kawit, were selected as study sites. From the analysis, a total of 18 TSS candidates were identified. It was determined that land use and distances from fishponds and built-up areas were the most sensitive criteria as they cover large portions of the area. For each TSS candidate, a 15-min service area map was generated using the ArcGIS Pro Network Analyst which showed that selected locations may serve multiple cities/municipalities.
