ANGELES CITY – Following the recent strong quakes in Mindanao, this city is conducting a citywide quake drill on November 14 as part of its disaster preparations.
As this developed, Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” G. Lazatin Jr. is appealing to Angeleňos to participate in the city-wide shake drill at 10 am on the said date. The city information office (CIO) said the city-wide earthquake drill is part of the nationwide drill set by the national government on November 14.
Lazatin is encouraging business establishments and government agencies here to familiarize themselves with the processes and steps on what to do when calamities like earthquakes occur.
“Hindi bale pong marami tayong drills, ang importante ma-familiarize ang mga tao. Maging handa lalo sa kalamidad,” Lazatin said.
