Senator Go proposes more evacuation centers nationwide 0 SHARES Share it! Go said that it is only necessary to build permanent evacuation centers nationwide to ensure the safety of Filipinos in times of natural calamities and other disasters given the geographic location of the country. Public schools are usually used as evacuation centers and the extended stay of calamity victims disrupt the school calendar of the Department of Education. As for its appropriation, the construction and maintenance of evacuation centers under the measure will be sourced from a portion of the general appropriations for the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). (We need to construct safe, permanent and dedicated evacuation centers that have emergency packs such as blankets, water, medicines, flashlight and other ready relief goods.)
