The Eastern Mindanao Command has alerted all its disaster response units in preparation for the expected entry of typhoon Hagupit on Thursday.
The typhoon is packing winds up to 230 kph, latest weather
forecast stated.
"With this looming calamity, the Eastern Mindanao
Command is preparing for readiness its disaster response capability,"
Eastern Mindanao Command spokesperson Major Ezra Balagtey said.
All subordinate units of the Eastern Mindanao Command has
already been ordered to prepare and activate designated disaster response units
(DRU) and coordinate with their respective local disaster risk reduction
management council.
“We are preparing for two scenarios, one is if the tropical
storm will landfall within the Eastern Mindanao Command AOR (area of
responsibility) and, the second is if it will hit the Visayas. The command is
prepared for both scenarios that necessitate Disaster Response Units to be
deployed in affected areas,” Eastern Mindanao Command chief Lt. Gen. Aurelio
Baladad said.
During the onslaught of Typhoon Yolanda, the Eastern
Mindanao Command sent its Task Force “Tambayayong” to Leyte
for humanitarian and disaster response operations.
The same readiness will be demonstrated by the command in
case the Visayas will be hit badly by the storm.
