“I instructed the DOE-led Task Force on Energy Resiliency to be on full alert, activate action and business continuity plans, prepare for the worst-case scenario with the current COVID-19 pandemic,” Cusi said in a statement over the weekend.
He also directed the task force to “maintain round-the-clock communications, especially with NDRRMC (National Disaster Risk Reduction Council) and DOST-Phivolcs (Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology).”
“The entire energy family will continue to monitor the situation. We will immediately address any adverse impact on energy systems and facilities, if permitted. We urge our kababayans to stay alert and be aware of potential hazards and safety concerns, and to fully cooperate with the local government units,” the secretary said.
