Gov't agencies brace for effects of 'Nando'

Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV said the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), together with its 44 member-agencies, has been placed on red alert status since Sept. 19 in preparation for Nando.

“As the highest level of alert, our mandate is to deploy and provide resources to all local government units (LGUs) and other agencies in need, and to facilitate immediate interagency coordination to anticipate needs before, during, and after the emergency,” he said in a press conference at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Operations Center (NDRRMOC), Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City on Sunday, Sept. 21.

“We are reminding everyone not to be complacent. Although our focus is on Northern Luzon, specifically Regions 1 (Ilocos Region), 2 (Cagayan Valley), and CAR (Cordillera Administrative Regon), areas in Central Luzon (Region 3) down to Bicol (Region 5) must also prepare because, according to PAGASA, the typhoon will surely draw in the southwest monsoon (habagat). So we still need to prepare and issue guidance for them to take preemptive measures,” he added.

This is a time for ideas, not just emotions

In last week's column, I tackled how our political and economic uncertainties need meaningful discussion so that solutions can be pursued. The inability to do that will leave us mired in repetitive drama, with much noise but little meaning needed to move forward. This breeds despair and anxiety, and a lack of hope for the future.
