00:07Details on the country's news by Earl Tobias of IBC.
00:13A large part of Luzon experienced a severe effect when the Christine Tsunami hit.
00:18Thousands of families had to flee due to floods and landslides.
00:23What's even sadder is the overcrowding.
00:26So, in the midst of this disaster, along with the next typhoons,
00:31the government also strengthened the technology of Hazard Hunter PH.
00:36A technology that can be used by the public in times of calamity.
00:40The Office of Civil Defense said that along with its implementation,
00:44it will provide the right information,
00:46especially whenever there's a high warning signal in a place.
00:50We're used to the signals 1, 2, 3, right?
00:53So, the capability, it's very visual.
00:57It means that the national government agencies, LGUs,
01:02and hopefully, those in the private sector,
01:06will be able to see visually what's likely to happen.
01:10Up to your village,
01:14you'll be able to see what it looks like
01:18a few days before the disaster.
01:22Once the OCD is lifted, Hazard Hunter PH can also be used,
01:25not only during a typhoon.
01:27It can also be used as a preparation,
01:30as well as as a possibility of an earthquake.
01:33If you go to Hazard Hunter PH,
01:36all of you will use the internet.
01:39If you click on it and enter your specific address,
01:43you'll know how far you are from the phone system.
01:47And if you see that your house is on top of it,
01:52you'll know where you are.
01:53At the same time, preparing is one of the most effective weapons
01:58against any threat of calamity or disaster.
