Makati City Mayor Abby Binay announced on Monday, May 22, the creation of a task force in preparation for the upcoming El Niño phenomenon and its adverse effects. ManilaBulletin

According to Binay, Task Force ENSO is tasked with linking the city government with other entities and groups in ensuring the continuous supply of water and electricity to Makatizens as the weather phenomenon is expected to have a massive effect on these utilities until the first three months of 2024.

The mayor explained that water concessionaires laid out their plans to ensure the continuous supply of water in houses and businesses in the city. Aside from deep wells and alternative water sources, Manila Water and Maynilad have opened their water treatment plants to supply water if ever their reserves reach the low level.

"Naka-antabay na ang ating Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council na umagapay kung magkakaroon ng water rationing sa mga piling lugar. Bukod pa dito ay maghahanda ng generators para sa mga kritikal na pasilidad o opisina para sa tuloy-tuloy na paghahatid ng serbisyo sa lahat ," Binay explained.
