Living with the truth
Absolutely critical that we have a disaster management or recovery plan
I hope the incoming government will make sure that the Philippines have a ready, workable disaster management/recovery plan. This plan should be designed in such a way that it could be put into motion a few minutes or immediately before a disaster strikes its full impact. I hope we have learned from Ondoy and Pepeng, knowing or realizing that stronger typhoons and more devastating floods are to be expected due mainly to climate change. Note that a compounding reason would be that our waste management system simply sucks.
