DHSUD activates shelter clusters in areas along the path of Tropical Storm Kristine

Quick Summary:

This was prompted by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council’s Resolution No.276 s.2024 which activates the Shelter Cluster in response to the effects of “Kristine.”Apart from monitoring actions on the ground, DHSUD as the head of the shelter cluster, can extend cash assistance from its Integrated Disaser Shelter Assistance Program (IDSAP) to victims of the typhoon.“Under IDSAP, the DHSUD provides cash assistance amounting to P30,000 for those with totally damaged houses due to calamities, man-made or natural, and P10,000 for the partially damaged,” DHSUD said.

For 2025, Escolango said the DHSUD is seeking an IDSAP budget of P581 million even if what is guaranteed under the National Expenditure Program is P200 million.“Pero baka ho sa mga susunod ay mai-haggle pa namin or maipakiusap pa natin sa ating mga mambabatas na dagdagan pa dahil magkukulang talaga ang P200 million,” Escolango earlier said in a briefing at the Palace.

We need to be proactive,” DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said.“Lahat ng kaya nating itulong dapat nakahanda bago pa tumama ang anumang kalamidad.”In the memorandum, the DHSUD instructed the concerned Regional Directors to closely monitor their respective jurisdictions and to facilitate emergency response and humanitarian assistance, if needed.
