DAVAO CITY – The Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council -Davao Region has directed the local government units to formulate their preparedness measures against El Niño, warning them to brace for the potential adverse impact of such phenomenon.
He said the LGUs should prepare response mechanisms to cushion the impacts of El Niño, particularly in the communities and sectors like agriculture, the latter projected to suffer “extensive damage.” He said that the LGUs have been reminded as early as May to prepare their El Niño mitigation measures, and that more than half of them have already complied.
It said that Pagasa’s climate monitoring and analyses indicate that “the unusual warming of sea surface temperatures along the equatorial Pacific that was established in March 2023 has further developed into a weak El Niño, which shows signs of strengthening in the coming months.”
