President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has ordered the review of the country’s standard operating procedures in disaster response in order to create a “uniform and coordinated” approach in times of emergencies.

“I think we have to review our SOPs when there’s a warning. So what do we immediately do when the alert is given to us? How do we preposition the things that we will need?” Marcos said during his fifth Cabinet meeting on Friday, Aug. 5.

He said the government should preposition satellite phones, generators, and water, among others, once an alert is raised. “Ang experience ko , the first thing you have to do is communicate with the local government official,” he added.Marcos also cited the importance of engineers who can help in clearing operations and building temporary structures.
