That's everyone's responsibility.

Since I was a kid I had experienced several strong typhoons that uprooted old trees, destroyed houses, damaged crops and over flooded canals and the city streets.

When I got married and had two children, I happened to volunteer together with my nephew to clear streets with toppled trees obstructing the flow of rescue vehicles.

Our country is always visited by several typhoons. There are usually 26 typhoons every year. Due to various natural catastrophes happening in our country, the local or City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (CDRRM) was created as an extension arm of the national government in addressing the needs and assistance of the victims to avoid more casualties.

Yes, and I'm glad that the government has taught of that, and it has helped lots of victims that need assistance. I hope no one gets hurt with typhoon Rolly.
