She said, villages should establish their own community cooking to immediately respond to the needs of their constituents in times of calamities.
"We appreciate barangays nga in place gyud ang ilahang mga emergency responses kay kita sa city government, sa kadaghan maglisud gyud ta,” Dayaday said in a report from the City Information Office.
She said CSWDO has only three mobile kitchens and these cannot cover all areas at once to provide hot meals to the victims.
Dayaday made this call following the evacuation due to floods and landslide incidents last week.
"Ang encouragement lang gyud nato sa atong barangays nga i-in place gyud always ang ilahang emergency response, kay sila man gyud tong tua sa area and gladly naa na gyu'y mga barangay nga less gyud ang response namo, padala lang mi para sa community cooking, naa na sila'y kitchen team, so sila na'y nagluto, nakakaon pa on time ang mga tao, whereas kung maghulat sa mobile kitchen, kung daghan ang naapektuhan maglisud na gyud ta'g deploy," Dayaday said.
Dayaday said that the flooding and landslide incidents on January 18 and 19 have affected 2,397 families with 8,555 individuals. 59 families with 206 individuals have been displaced due to landslides.
