Philippine Red Cross, led by its Chairman Richard Gordon and other volunteers, dispatched a humanitarian caravan to mobilize resources for the delivery of additional augmentation assistance to municipalities affected by the activities of Mayon Volcano.
After the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the warning level for Mayon Volcano to level 3 indicating an "increased tendency toward a hazardous eruption," Gordon prepared his team and quickly dispatched a humanitarian caravan.
In response to Gordon's directive, PRC dispatched four water tankers with five water bladders, two water filtration units, and tap stands; four food trucks; two Travis multipurpose vans with health supplies, including goggles; three trucks with 2,500 sleeping kits and hygiene kits; and a 6x6 truck carrying 2, 500 jerry cans from its Metro Manila warehouse, Subic warehouse, and PRC Bataan Chapter to supplement other PRC assets already prepositioned in Albay.
Gordon noted that the PRC is guided by the principles of the 4Ps: "Predict, Plan, Prepare, Practice" in all its operations. Meanwhile, PRC Secretary-General Gwendolyn Pang organized the PRC teams to help the people in Albay as soon as possible.
