THE Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development has activated its local shelter cluster teams in regions affected by super
typhoon “Egay.”
Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar approved the recommendation made by Undersecretary Lyle Pasco and Assistant Secretary Daryll Bryan
Villanueva, who are in charge of DHSUD’s regional operations, to activate the shelter cluster teams in 12 regions throughout the
country.
The activation of the teams was a proactive measure to ensure the readiness of the concerned regional offices for any eventuality in the
National Capital Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Regions 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.
“Regional offices are further instructed to monitor the weather conditions within their respective jurisdiction. In response to the
effects of said tropical depression, ROs are likewise directed to facilitate emergency response and humanitarian assistance,” Pasco
said.
