Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay said the city government will be purchasing various rescue equipment as well as conducting a series of seminars on disaster preparedness.
“Through the DRRM Plan, Makati City would be able to strengthen the four thematic areas in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, which are disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, and disaster recovery and rehabilitation,” Binay said in a Philippine Star report.
He added that the implementation of the DRRM Plan 2013-2019 programs, projects and activities will be done in phases: immediate term in 2013, short term (2014 to 2016), medium term (2017 to 2019) and long term (2020 onwards). The city is poised to purchase 3 sets of 24-Bit Digital Triaxial Seismic Accelerometer for the New Makati City Hall Building and the city’s and flood control projects.
