“This warehouse will address the issue of ease of access to resources during these critical times, and that in itself is a measure of disaster preparedness,” Pangilinan said as she stressed that when it comes to disaster management, time is of the essence. The sooner we get to respond to any need with all the logistics necessary, the better our chances of ensuring everyone’s safety.
