Kinilala ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) ang umano’y tiyak at mabilis na aksyon ng Local Government Units (LGUs) kaugnay sa paghagupit ng bagyong Uwan sa malaking bahagi ng Luzon at Visayas kamakailan.

Sa ibinahaging Facebook post ng DILG Philippines nitong Martes, Nobyembre 11, mababasa ang isang pahayag ng pagkilala para sa mga lokal na pamahalaan na nagsagawa ng “preemptive evacuations” at “early response operations” bunsod ng pananalasa ng naturang bagyo.

“The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) joins President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in acknowledging the efforts of local government units (LGUs) across the country for their swift and decisive action in carrying out preemptive evacuations and early response operations during the onslaught of Typhoon ‘Uwan’,” anang DILG.

“Through prompt warnings, clear coordination, and on-the-ground leadership, governors, mayors, barangay officials, and disaster response teams safely moved more than 1.6 million individuals, or nearly 490,000 families, away from danger. These efforts prevented greater loss of life and demonstrated the power of proactive governance and community cooperation,” saad pa nila.

Nagpasalamat din ang ahensya sa mga kapulisan, bumbero, at mga volunteers na tumulong upang mailikas ang maraming residente na naapektuhan ng bagyo.

“The Department also extends its gratitude to the police officers, firefighters, and volunteers who risked their safety amid heavy rains and strong winds to bring families to evacuation centers, assist in relief efforts, and secure affected areas. Their dedication reflects the true spirit of public service,” anila.

“The Department continues to work alongside all LGUs in strengthening disaster preparedness, coordination, and recovery efforts nationwide. Sa bayanihan at pagtutulungan, kahit gaano kalakas ang unos, kaya nating lampasan,” pagtatapos nila.
