Learn from previous storms, PBBM tells gov’t agencies
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. called on various government agencies to use the important lessons from the previous storms in dealing with incoming typhoons.
Such lessons should be communicated to local government units to further prepare communities against disasters, the President said.
“Again, I think that we have properly followed the procedures we have set up for ourselves for disaster response,” he said during a briefing on incoming typhoon Pepito at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City on Friday.
“We must remember all the lessons we learned from previous incidents of storm surge and we have to provide guidance to our local executives so that they know what to do and how to protect themselves against possible storm surge,” he said.
The President called for a meeting with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) to determine the status of government response for Typhoon Marce and Pepito.
As to the perennial flooding in Metro Manila, the President said local authorities now have a better idea where flood water flows.
“Because as we began to see the – ‘yung dinadaanan ng tubig, nagbabago eh. Pero ‘yung bagong pinagdaanan ng tubig, alam na natin ngayon,” he said.
“So, let’s look back on the experience that we’ve had in the past few typhoons that caused street flooding, that dropped 700 millimeters in just past 24 hours. A little more than 24 hours,” he added.
He said LGUs must preposition heavy equipment, vehicles, rubber boats, and air assets.
The President ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to do the same.
