DAGUPAN CITY –The construction of a
three-storey evacuation center with a roof deck on top in Barangay Salapingao
is now underway, according to Mayor Belen Fernandez.
The project is being funded under the
Bottom up Budgeting (BUB) of the Department of Interior and Local Government
(DILG) through then Secretary Mar Roxas, with counterpart from the city
government.
Measuring 900 square meters, the
project will soon accommodate residents of Salapingao and Pugaro in case of
storm surge.
“This is part of the city disaster risk
reduction management program of the city which aims to keep the people safe in
the island barangay in case a storm surge occurs considering that Salapingao
has no land access and can only be travelled by boat,” said Mayor Fernandez who
visited the construction site on January 21 along with DILG City Director
Rhoderick Dawis and OIC City Engineer Josephine Corpuz.
The entire project costs P15,089,624.96
million. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO)
