In the aftermath of the recent magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Davao Oriental, the Provincial Government of Davao de Oro continues to provide immediate assistance to affected families in the province.
With Governor Raul Mabanglo’s commitment to swift and sustained disaster response especially under the state-of-calamity, the Provincial Government began the distribution operations in successive phases throughout October and November, reaching thousands of affected households across the province.
A total of 8,896 affected families from the municipalities of Maco, Pantukan, New Bataan, Montevista, Nabunturan, Mabini, Monkayo, Compostela, and Mawab received aid from October to present.
These beneficiaries were identified through the Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA), which determined their homes as partially damaged or unsafe for occupancy.
The coordinated efforts of the Provincial Government have earned the gratitude and appreciation of all families affected by the disaster.
The relief food packs, provided by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region XI, were promptly delivered to the affected municipalities through the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) – Davao de Oro, ensuring that assistance reached the affected families without delay.
The relief operation will continue until all areas are covered reflecting the Provincial Government’s firm commitment to sustained recovery and support for every affected resident of Davao de Oro.
