Barangay officials urged to be more active in reporting typhoon incidents

Mayor Benjamin Magalong urged barangay officials to be more active in reporting hazards during typhoons and other calamities in their areas of jurisdiction.
    "This would facilitate quick response on emergency situations and would give residents the sense of security they need during calamities," the mayor said.
    The mayor thanked the residents for directly reporting concerns to various offices of the city government as he encouraged them to also engage with their barangay heads to ensure speedy coordination.
    "Together let us strengthen our hazard reporting system to protect lives and properties," he said.
    The city through its various reporting channels received numerous concerns at the height of typhoon “Paeng.”      Most of the incidents were fallen or leaning trees, damaged utility posts and others due to the strong winds caused by the weather disturbance. – Aileen P. Refuerzo
