Typhoon Cosme: Responding to a Disaster and Health Emergencies – Dagupan City Government

“Preparedness in the face of opportunity is called luck”

A little less than ten years after Dagupan City was ravaged by Typhoon Gading, Typhoon Cosme, the third typhoon to enter the Philippine area of responsibility this year, more destructive than many typhoons that occurred in recent years, caused widespread havoc and damages to the city of Dagupan on the afternoon and into the night of May 17, 2008. It’s devastating strength was surprisingly unexpected although it was forecasted to landfall along the Lingayen gulf area.

The morning after: May 18 (Sunday)

4 deaths that include 3 children and scores of Dagupeños injured, citywide power outage, waterless faucets, communications down, fallen trees and electric poles blocking national city and barangay roads, debris of GI sheets, house materials, wires, branches of trees, houses, schools and government and private buildings with damaged and without roofs, fallen signages and crumpled billboard frames was the sight that every Dagupeño will remember.

The Health Emergency Response:

Mayor Alipio F. Fernandez, Jr. CDCC Chairman rattled of several directives to the City Health Office — deployment of medical response teams to all 31 barangays clustered into 4 areas, (north, south, east and western barangays), inventory, emergency purchase and stockpiling of essential pharmaceuticals/medicines and address drinking water concerns.

What are they proposing and what are your thoughts? All levels of gov. are being hit by the economy and my local gov. is looking to increase revenue to cover costs.
My fault in asking too broad a question. Rather than asking for partisan answers, I was curious whether you were for reduced gov. services due to cuts or increased taxes to maintain the status quo. I’ll post in a diff. question.

Yes Virginia in Fairfax County. We are also a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants of some 700,000 so say the Washington Post. Please not inform ICE.
We have a liberal Governor who is now head of the DNC,and his bud, Jerry Connolly who will not hold any town hall meetings this fall! Cowards!

I knew when we elected Governor Warner three years ago taxes would go up due to budget shortfalls which was contrary to his platform. it is just commonsense and it did. We elected Kaine two years ago (two year term limits in VA) and Real Estate taxes have gone up big, but average to the country. He wants to put his bud in Craig Deeds, who winks and nods at whatever Kaine says so I see tax rates going up again.

How much?

It could. It won’t affect it until you fill out the fafsa for 2011-2012 school year (because you’ll use 2010’s information then). It will depend on how much your earnings combined with your parents’ amounts to, the number of household members, how many are in college, etc. The EFC is determined by a number of criteria. You could use the EFC calculator (just estimate what you expect to earn) to see if your EFC varies greatly with your summer job.
