MMDA General Manager Roberto Nacianceno said that disaster maps will allow the LGUs to identify possible disaster-prone areas as well as evacuation routes and areas.
"The next time something happens, automatic na ma-identify at hindi maghahanap lang. More important ang training ng tao (The next time disaster strikes, we can already identify evacuation routes and sites. Training is more important)," Nacianceno said in an interview on dzBB radio.
He said the disaster risk maps will include contingency plans for calamities such as floods, fires and earthquakes.
Nacianceno also said that the maps will also allow the LGUs to bolster the communities as the first level of disaster response.
"Sa laki ng nasasakop at sa laki ng disaster situation, hindi gobyerno ang first level of response. Ang first level of response ay sa community mismo (During wide-scale disaster situations, the government can't provide the first level of response. The first level of response will have come from the communities themselves)," he said.
