Poe reiterated her appeal for the establishment of the proposed DDR, noting Taal Volcano’s eruptions, expected typhoons and the persisting COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
“The situation of our vulnerable countrymen becomes more difficult in the face of calamities amid the pandemic. We must not lose time to efficiently plan and collaborate on disaster risk mitigation and management,” Poe said in a statement.
