The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) 6 (Western Visayas) is on alert status for the possible impact of Typhoon Leon (international name Kong-Rey) even while the provision of assistance continues to those affected by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (international name Trami).

“As to the preparedness, we have adequate resources that we can use at any given time. In terms of the family food packs (FFPs), we still have more than 90,000 scattered all over the region. Aside from the family food packs, we also have non-food items (NFIs) available,” DSWD-6 Director Arwin Lazo said on Tuesday.

The DSWD has more than PHP120.7 million in total stockpile and standby funds, he added.

Meanwhile, in its latest report, DSWD-6 said the total assistance extended to families affected by Kristine has already reached PHP25.36 million.

The assistance consisted of 22,724 FFPs worth about PHP22.5 million, and 531 NFIs amounting to PHP832,188.

“The local government units provided assistance worth over PHP2 million to the affected families/persons,” the report said.

Kristine affected 125,496 families, or 485,015 individuals, in the region.

It also destroyed 572 houses and partially damaged 17,915 others. (PNA)
