00:00 It is also crucial to be reminded that climate change will keep exacerbating the impact of
00:09 natural disasters.
00:11 As I have said, we must make climate change a vital component of our national policies.
00:17 We must make sure that we apply our knowledge on climate change to every plan, to every
00:24 decision and initiative so we can build stronger and more resilient communities.
00:31 Be assured that the government is always striving to ensure that such tragedies of this magnitude
00:37 will be avoided and will be adapted to.
00:42 We continue to build disaster-resilient evacuation centers and emergency operation centers.
00:49 We are also putting into place more centralized and efficient early warning systems, incident
00:55 command systems and disaster response strategies.
00:59 The development and deployment of new technologies such as GeoRiskPH and PlanSmart, along with
01:07 the continuous conduct of information and education campaigns, simulation drills are
01:13 also aimed to save lives.
01:17 I therefore call on our citizens to partner with us in bolstering our country's disaster
01:23 preparedness, recovery and resiliency so that we can overcome whatever storms we will face.
01:30 Thank you.
