DOST to install 30 flood early warning systems in DVO region DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) regional office here will install 30 flood early warning systems in the Davao region. M i r a s o l D o m i n g o, DOST-XI assistant regional director, said the specific locations will be mapped by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services, being the agency responsible
for monitoring the weather system. Domingo told reporters during Monday’s Kapihan sa Dabaw at SM Annex that five of the 30 early flood warning systems will be installed in Davao City and the rest will be distributed to the other Davao provinces. In line with the project, Domingo said DOST will pilot a flood drill in communities along the Lipadas
River, which runs through many villages in Toril District. The flood drill will take place on May 17 and 18. Each early warning system, Domingo said, will help the community in mitigating the effects of flooding in their area and empowers people to protect and prepare against the destructive effect of floods. Based on a DOST brief-
er, the community-based flood early warning system “protects people’s lives and properties through a nonstructural method. The instruments to be used are also cheaper compared to automatic or telemetry system.” DOST’s main beneficiaries of the systems are flood-prone communities within relatively small See install, page A3
