The Department of Agriculture and Department of Interior and Local Government are both getting ready for the change of weather phenomenon which the country is nearing to experience.
Emmanuel Piñol, incoming secretary of the Department of Agriculture, prepares plans to focus on the solutions for the effects of the La Niña phenomenon across the country.
The incoming secretary said that he will be prepared unlike the current administration of President Benigno “PNoy” Aquino which failed to plan for the El Niño weather phenomenon despite early and sufficient warnings from the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)
In addition, Secretary of Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Men Senen Sarmiento ordered the local government units to get ready for La Niña.
Sarmiento also called on all the provincial governors, city and municipal mayors, including DILG regional directors to do preventive measures in their particular areas of responsibility.
“LGUs are encouraged to convene their respective Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Councils to prepare a La Niña Action Plan; closely coordinate with PAGASA for timely weather updates and with the DENR-Mines and Geosciences Bureau for adequate information on the threat of flooding and rainfall-induced landslides within the respective LGU,” said Sarmiento.
