Binigyang diin ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang pangangailangan ng science-based innovations on disaster response, kasabay ng panawagan sa mga pangunahing disaster management office at local government units (LGUs), na magtulungan para dito.
Sa ika-24 na Gawad KALASAG National Awarding Ceremony sa Pasay City, sinabi ng Pangulo na mahalaga ang patuloy na improvement sa linya ng disaster risk reduction.
“It has become imperative that our DRRM system undergoes continuous improvement to address evolving circumstances. It includes our individual obligation to follow proactive, vigilant, and adaptable strategies for our own and our communities’ safety,” —Pangulong Marcos.
Kailangan aniya na patuloy na nakapagdi-develop ng innovative solutions, future-ready, at mga science-based na pagtugon sa disaster response, na nakasasabay sa pangangailangan ng kasalukuyang panahon.
“I once again call on the NDRRMC and all other concerned agencies and the LGUs – our always our first responders – to continue working together to develop innovative solutions that are science-based, that are sustainable, and are future-ready, and establish clear guidelines for more effective disaster-response,” —Pangulong Marcos.
Dapat rin aniya na ang mga programang ito, naka-angkla sa “Build Back Better” strategy ng pamahalaan sa recovery, rehabilitation, at reconstruction. | ulat ni Racquel Bayan
