Ipinag-utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang activation ng El Niño Southern Oscillation Online Platform (ENOP).
Isa itong centralized repository ng datos, para sa monitoring at pagtugon sa epekto ng El Niño at La Niña.
“Citizens can also report what they observe on the ground and there’s a citizen survey that can be used – there’s a QR code in the website – and this can be easily accommodated through a dashboard.” — Secretary Solidum.
Sa press briefing sa Malacañang, sinabi ni DOST Secretary Renato Solidum, maaari nang ma-access ng publiko ang website na ito, kung saan makikita nila ang mga real time maps kaugnay sa pinsalang iniiwan ng tagtuyot sa bansa.
“They can also look at information materials that can help them prepare for El Niño and later on, La Niña and to make sure that they contribute to the preparedness of their communities for these hazards.” — Secretary Solidum.
Available rin aniya ang impormasyon kaugnay sa ginagawang tugon ng pamahalaan, partikular ang government offices na nakatutok sa pagkain, tubig, kalusugan, public safety, at enerhiya sa bansa.
“As the reports come along, then the more data will be stored in the app and the more people can see which other areas are experiencing the same effects.” — Secretary Solidum.
Habang magsisilbi ring platform ang website na ito, sakaling may report o impormasyon na nais ibahagi ang publiko sa national government, kaugnay sa El Niño at La Niña.
“There will be another part of the dashboard or the platform that will be exclusive for local governments to have more detailed reporting and also the other agencies reporting so that the President and other executives can look at the overall response of government so that we can have the same set of information to be shared also to the public later on.” — Secretary Solidum. | ulat ni Racquel Bayan
