MAYOR Eric C. Codilla said one of the legacies he will leave is laying the groundwork to make Ormoc disaster-ready. He bared this during a capability seminar on Enhancing Barangay Risk Reduction and Management last July 12. He added that he made this to attain zero-casualties during calamities.
Mayor Codilla, who is in his final term, said the city invested on both tangible and intangible projects. The tangible projects include equipment like rescue boats as well as infrastructure like the two-storey barangay hall in Licuma which can serve as evacuation center during flooding.
The intangible projects are the conduct of rescue trainings up to the barangay level. The seminar oriented participants on the latest orders of the Department of Interior and Local Government including the proper utilization of the barangay calamity fund.
