Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan ordered the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) to study the possibility of allocating funds as assistance to Natonin, Mountain Province, which was ravaged by Typhoon Rosita.
He also instructed the CSWDO to look at how the city can extend assistance to the bereaved families of the three residents of Baguio who were among the fatalities in Natonin.
“We sympathize with Natonin so we have to look into ways on how we can help in the recovery and rehabilitation of the municipality. The people will need all the help from various sectors to allow them to recover from the effects of the typhoon,” Domogan said.
He added the landslide that buried the buildings of the Department of Public Works and Highways in Natonin should serve as a wakeup call for everyone to come up with measures on how to adapt to the impacts of the extreme weather conditions brought about by climate change.
Domogan said it is fortunate that Baguio City was not severely affected by the recent typhoon so it must share some of its resources to Natonin to aid the town in its recovery and rehabilitation plans.
The city government has been allocating funds as financial assistance to local government units affected by typhoons.
