PCSO's 'Yolanda' Relief Efforts


Words fall short in describing the magnitude of the calamity that devastated a major part of the Visayas. Supertyphoon Yolanda was assessed by meteorologists as a Category 5 typhoon, with one-minute sustained winds of 325 kilometers per hour (195 miles per hour), making it the strongest tropical cyclone ever to make landfall. Other scientists even said it could fall into the “Category 6 box.”

The PCSO Board of Directors recently sent three water-treatment plants to Samar, Eastern Leyte and Bohol, the latter for post-October 15 earthquake relief. Other relief goods being distributed in the Visayas include 100,000 Family Emergency Medicine kits, each consisting of mefenamic acid, paracetamol and loperamide; 3,450 survival kits, each consisting of a sleeping mat, mosquito nets and a blanket; and 600 sacks of rice for Eastern Samar and Leyte.
