Also included are the implementation of the solid waste management programs and hazard maps that Governor Herminia Ramiro, Chairperson of the PDRRMC, has asked all the local government units (LGU’s) to submit to be made the basis of the preparedness plans of the province.
Meanwhile, De Barras said these interactions of the disaster action officers from the LGU’s paved the way for the activities of the observance of the Disaster Consciousness and Prevention Month of July, this year.
It has been observed that floodings topped the list of calamities that took place in the province, during the first quarter, which affected a number of residents and resulted in the loss of their agriculture and livelihood, while earthquakes have been considered as less hazardous.
It is also encouraged that the disaster-preparedness be discussed in the people’s respective homes as a mitigation measure to prevent the loss of lives and property, De Barras, added. (Pat Nano/PIO/PIA-10 Mis. Occ.)
