Disaster managers gear up for typhoon

Aklan Gov. Florencio Miraflores instructed provincial disaster managers and volunteers to be prepared ahead for typhoon “Dodong.”
In an interview, Miraflores said that although Aklan is not in the typhoon’s track, it is important to be prepared as the province plays hosts to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings from May 10- 24.
“It is better to be prepared ahead of time. We have also communicated to 17 different municipal disaster managers to be ready and prepared,” said Miraflores.
It was learned that the Office of the Civil Defense is also preparing similar preparations ahead of the typhoon.
APEC delegates will convene here on May 10-21 for the Second Senior Officials Meeting (SOM2) and Related Meetings and May 23-24 for Ministers Responsible for Trade Meeting.
Around 2, 000 delegates are expected to come over.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, typhoon “Dodong” has intensified its strength as it continues to move in the general direction of Eastern Luzon.
Public storm signal number one was declared in Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon and Polillo Island and Northern Samar.
