Increased catastrophe response capabilities are mentioned by the DND chief.

Carlito Galvez Jr., secretary of the Department of National Defense (DND), emphasized the urgent need to significantly improve the nation’s capacity for disaster response on Monday in order to lessen the effects of climate change.

“Due to climate change, we also need to step up our nation’s disaster response efforts since regions that haven’t previously suffered flooding are now being inundated. Before it’s too late, we must address this issue as soon as feasible “During flag-raising ceremonies at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City, he urged DND officers and staff.

Galvez also highlighted the major typhoons that hit the nation in the latter half of 2022 and the sheer line that dumped rain and caused flooding in numerous areas around Christmas as examples.

Since last year’s typhoons left behind significant destruction, as well as a shear line for which we have no explanation, he continued, “it is better to be safe than sorry.”

Galvez said the country needs to improve its civil and national defense capabilities, notably in the area of cyber security, in addition to stepping up its response to disasters.

“Today, it’s a significant global issue. To achieve this, the DND must continue to forge and develop trilateral and bilateral alliances with our allies this year, in addition to working with the corporate sector “Added he.

Galvez also emphasized the necessity for the DND to communicate with and solicit the assistance of the corporate sector in the national efforts being made in the areas of peace, defense, and security.

This level of cooperation, he continued, was carried out at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The business sector, he continued, “will not hesitate to supply us with the same amount of support” because this is precisely what we need at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak.
