The local government here has launched ‘Tabang Kauban,’ a relief drive for the province of Cebu many of whose residents were affected by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck on September 30.
City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (CDRRMD) chief Nick Jabagat said the city will send non-food relief items, including mats, tarpaulins, and ropes for setting up tents and sleeping arrangements. The items are expected to be dispatched as soon as possible.
Jabagat said residents who wish to contribute may coordinate with the CDRRMD.
Jabagat added that they hope to provide sleeping-related supplies amid the dire need for shelter, especially among those who were left homeless.
