class suspensions due to typhoon or other calamities should be given way earlier. early enough that the school kids don’t have to leave their homes.

ano ba yan… we have the so called “PAGASA” and based on science they should know that something like this will come and knowing well our poor drainage and sewage system, they should also be able to know that it could result to flooding.

PAGASA, DoE, and CHED should always communicate with each other. Suspending the classes early enough (even if it is still “ambon lang”) could save a lot of people from risks.

The kids’ school’s protocol for midday suspension of classes is simply a time sched, and that’s it.
One thing I realized yesterday is that my family was not ready for any disaster. Am now in the process of putting together a disaster kit and a blog post on it.
stay safe, Ria

Hopefully the students make it home BEFORE getting caught in floods like this!

I know how big a disaster this is but I have to agree with others that our government must ALWAYS be ready and in this case, we can’t even save ample amount of persons in 24 hours x.x

I know how hard the police, rescuers, and armed forces are working now and I commend them. What we need is the infrastructure, water systems, disaster coordination, and policies to avoid this scenario.

Sad that paulit ulit nalang like the policy with big billboards, nawala lang din after the storm has left the country.
