The provincial government of Negros Occidental is proposing the relocation of residents living within the four-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone of Kanlaon Volcano to ensure their safety and long-term well-being.
The provincial government of Negros Occidental is seeking a long-term solution for residents living within the four-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone of Kanlaon Volcano . Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz stated that one proposed solution involves local government units identifying relocation sites for displaced residents, including potential farm lots for affected families.
Diaz announced plans to meet with mayors of La Castellana, Bago City, and La Carlota City to discuss their proposals regarding relocation. He emphasized the need to relocate residents for their safety, acknowledging the challenges they face. Diaz believes relocation will help evacuees become self-sufficient, allowing them to reintegrate into society, support local economies, and enable children to attend school more effectively. He stated that long-term safety requires relocating from the danger zone. While the government can provide short-term subsidies, Diaz emphasized the need for sustainable solutions. He noted that funds will eventually deplete and suitable relocation sites are crucial to avoid future support struggles. The provincial government aims to initiate the relocation plan as soon as possible. Additionally, they plan to relocate existing evacuation centers to safer locations. Diaz mentioned seeking approval from national agencies and other relevant organizations before proceeding
