The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) continues to intensify its disaster response operations as Tropical Storm Enteng accelerates over Northern Luzon, an official of the agency’s Disaster Response Management Group (DRMG) said on Tuesday (September 3).
“Sa kasalukuyan, ongoing pa rin po ang isinasagawa natin na koordinasyon sa LGUs especially that Enteng is battering naman the Northern part of the country, Region 2 (Cagayan Valley),” DRMG Asst. Secretary Dumlao, who is also the agency spokesperson, said in an interview over Radio Pilipinas, the flagship AM radio station of the Presidential Broadcast Service (PBS).
Based on the September 3 DSWD-Disaster Response Operations Management, Information, and Communication (DROMIC) report, there are 219 families or 805 individuals in the Cagayan Valley Region affected by the weather disturbance.
The DSWD Field Office (FO) 2-Cagayan Valley is closely coordinating with all Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) and Local Social Welfare and Development Office (LSWDO) to monitor their respective areas of responsibility.
The DRMG official pointed out that the DSWD is ready to provide augmentation support to the LGUs affected by the tropical storm compounded by the southwest monsoon or habagat.
“In fact, nationwide, mayroon tayong total stand by funds and stockpile na nagkakahalaga ng mahigit Php2 billion at ang ating mga prepositioned goods ay nakahanda,” Asst. Secretary Dumlao pointed out.
As of September 2, the DSWD has responded to the requests for augmentation support from the LGUs, particularly in the National Capital Region (NCR), CALABARZON, Bicol Region, and Eastern Visayas according to the DRMG asst. secretary.
“Ang atin pong mga natanggap na requests from the LGUs for augmentation support ay nasa mahigit 140,000 na FFPs… and ang DSWD ay nakapaghatid na ng support to these LGUs,” Asst. Secretary Dumlao said.
Currently, the DSWD maintains more than 1.73 million boxes of FFPs strategically prepositioned in the different warehouses across the country.#
