Nakipagtulungan ang naturang kagawaran sa Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office ng Batangas, Cavite, at City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office ng Tagaytay City upang mabuo ang “Operation Listo.”
“It will assure the public that our local officials have adequate and appropriate plans on responding to another possible Taal Volcano eruption in the future,” ayon kay DILG-CALABARZON Regional Director Ariel Iglesia sa isang virtual forum.
Nakapaloob sa naturang manual ang mga tala ng mga impormasyong makatutulong para sa paghahanda mga lokal na pamahalaan bago, habang at pagkatapos ng sakuna.
Bukod dito, sinabi ng Local Government Academy (LGA) na mayroon ding mga gabay na libro ang naisagawa na para sa iba pang aktibong bulkang tulad ng Bulkang Pinatubo, Bulkang Bulusan, Bulkang Mayon, at Bulkang Kanlaon.
“This encourages these regions to share their respective, long records of historical data on volcanic activities, with the potential to enhance the current understanding of volcanic eruption and their impacts along with their set of policies and practices,” ayon kay El Dimaano na nagpresinta kay LGA Executive Director Thelma Vecina sa naturang forum.
“Making use of this unshared and kept useful data as inputs in the proposed manual for a volcanic eruption will enrich and add to our LGUs’ capacity to anticipate, prepare for, and mitigate the consequences of future eruptions,” dagdag pa niya.
