By Eldie N. David
BUTUAN CITY, Jan. 15 (PIA) -- The Sangguniang
Panlungsod here has unanimously approved SP Resolution 085-2013 in the regular
session held recently, declaring the city under state of calamity.
The resolution, which was jointly authored by
all the members of the SP led by Vice Mayor Law Fortun, stemmed from the recent
flooding that the city experienced since last week.
Fortun said the declaration was based on the
data submitted to the SP by the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council
(CDRRMC) which indicated that based on their assessment, there was indeed a
need to declare a state of calamity in the city.
Based on their data, there were already about
9,000 individuals who were affected by the continuous flooding in the city.
Additionally, about 1,200 hectares of farm lands were destroyed bringing close
to P20 million in total damages in the agricultural sector.
About P2.6 million worth of infrastructures were
also damaged by the heavy floods. City Mayor Ferdinand M. Amante, Jr. also made
the same request with the SP to help the affected sectors who were affected by
the flooding.
Fortun said that with the declaration of state
of calamity, a contingency plan will be implemented together with the release
of a calamity fund for the rehabilitation of the affected sectors of the city.
It will also pave the way for the city government of Butuan to implement
programs that will help those affected rebuild their livelihood. (RER/Butuan
