KORONADAL CITY, Sept 22 (PIA) -- South Cotabato officials have renewed calls for vigilance, especially among residents living in or near identified flood-prone and landslide-prone areas. | |||
Provincial Administrator Isidro Janita, who also heads the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said residents in the identified accident-prone areas should always be on the lookout because landslides and flash floods are being experienced in the province. | |||
This renewed call for vigilance came after a flash flood incident in Polomolok town. | |||
Fifty-six families, including 274 individuals, in Barangays Landan, Upper Klinan, and Maligo in Polomolok town were displaced when a creek overflowed Monday night. | |||
PDRRMC incident report said 21 houses and one chapel were totally damaged and 25 houses were partially damaged. At least 6 hectares of crops and four farm animals were also lost. | |||
Initial estimates have set the damages at P5 million. | |||
No human casualty was reported. | |||
Governor Arthur Y. Pingoy Jr. yesterday said the provincial government has already extended food and relief assistance to the displaced families. | |||
He also ordered the immediate relocation of the residents in the affected area, which has been identified among the high risk area. | |||
In a recent meeting of the regional council, Pingoy has requested the RDMMC to expedite the purchase of the relocation sites for communities living in calamity-prone areas. | |||
He said purchase of the relocation site for affected residents in Landan area may not be difficult since the identified lot is properly titled. (PIA 12) | |||
