Solons urge Senate to pass bill setting up evacuation centers in every LGU
Albay 2nd District Representative Joey Salceda and Ako Bicol party-list Representative Elizaldy Co made the appeal amid the evacuations in the Bicol Region due to the intensifying unrest of Mayon Volcano, which is currently under an Alert Level 3.
“The approval of this bill is of paramount importance in safeguarding the lives and well-being of our communities. The traditional practice of utilizing public schools as evacuation centers falls short in providing the necessary facilities to accommodate evacuees effectively. We must prioritize the safety of our people without compromising their education,” he said in a statement.
