Local Government Units thru the local disaster disaster risk reduction management councils (LDRRMC) play a critical role in the disaster preparedness including early evacuation of residents, setting up of evacuation centers with facilities, and warning systems. Yun ginawa sa san francisco, cebu particularly in Tulang Diyot island in the Camotes group of Islands was commendable. all of the residents about 1,000 of them were evacuated to bigger island, were saved, hence zero casualties although yun mga bahay na washed out dahil sa storm surge. Prevention is key to this kind of disaster. During and after calamities is another story. Both national and local governments should work hand in hand in providing rescue, relief and rehab to affected communities. Alam naman ng lahat elected officials and government officials na ang ating bansa is regularly visited by tropical storms part of the typhoon belt and ring of fire - volcanoes and faultlines. Ang tanong san napupunta ang pera ng bayan? Matagal na nagwarning ang mga scientists, geologists, and meteorologists about climate change and yet we are not ready? kailan pa tayo magready? all is to blame. there are still people living in dangerzones. pag sila ay pinapaalis ng gobyerno aawayin pa nila gobyerno. mga politikos huwag naman kayo kapalmuks. pera ng bayan ay pera ng mamamayan kaya wala kayong karapatan ilagay ang pangalan nyo sa mga relief goods. tungkulin nyo po tulungan ang mga tao lalo na yun mga mahihirap. Last year when the LGUs and civil society organizations were ask to submit proposals for funding by the national govt. thru bottom-up planning approach, only few LGUs out of over 600 LGUs submitted proposed projects that pertains to environmental protection and climate change mitigation. 2 reasons, LGUs are ready to face environmental challenges or doesnt care at all. CONGRATS sa mga LGUs (barangays, towns and cities) na maganda ang disaster preparedness with strong leadership ng mga kapitan, mayor at ibang officials, at lalo na yun walang casualties sa galit dulot ni yolanda. ph.news.yahoo/how-entire-island-of-cebu-survived-yolanda-s-wrath-010035215.html
