Panahon na umano para ipasa ang panukalang magtatag ng Department of Disaster Resilience (DDR) para mas mapagtibay at mas matutukan ang pangangailangan ng mga Pinoy sa panahon ng sakuna at kalamidad.


Ito ang sinabi ni Leyte Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez kasunod ng pananalasa ng Bagyong Odette kung saan nakita ang ilang kakulangan sa disaster preparedness o paghahanda sa sakuna.


Pagdating umano sa komunikasyon, binigyang-diin ng mambabatas na manduhan ang mga internet providers na mag-develop ng disaster preparedness o disaster resilience plan.


Halimbawa aniya ang pagtatayo ng alternatibong cell sites o back up power supply.


“We have seen how the lack of internet service disrupts not only cellphone communications but more critically, it disables the use of non-cash payment transactions like gcash, debit/credit card and even ATMs,” sabi ni Torres-Gomez.


“Odette victims have already been lining up just to buy fuel and drinking water. Limiting transactions to ONLY paper cash, just adds another layer of burden to disaster victims,” lahad pa nito.
