AS the Philippines braces for the rainy season, Malacanang is reiterating its call for Filipinos to review their respective families’ disaster preparedness plans in order to prevent any mishap or casualty befalling them.
Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte made the call in a press briefing aired over government-run radio station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan on Sunday.
“We encourage everybody since nasa rainy season na po tayo, to review your family’s own disaster preparedness,” Valte said.
She said Filipino families should heed the call of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council to stock up on essential goods and regularly conduct family disaster drills in order to prepare and protect ourselves for any eventuality that may happen.
“I-replenish na po natin ‘yung mga emergency supplies na kailangan natin, na dapat nasa ating bahay, at magkaroon na rin tayo ng ating mga family drill para masanay ang ating mga kapamilya at mga kasama kung ano ang dapat nating gawin in cases of typhoon, of floods, of an earthquake, and any other calamities that we may come across this coming year,” Valte said.
“So we encourage everybody to do just that,” she added. (PND)
