Pasig City is taking disaster preparedness to a whole new level! Under the leadership of our favorite Mayor Vico Sotto, every family residing in the city will receive a free Emergency Go Bag. This initiative demonstrates the commitment of the local government to ensure the safety and well-being of all Pasigueños in the face of emergencies.

What’s inside the Emergency Go Bag? Each bag contains essential items to help families survive the initial hours and days following a disaster, including:

• Dry bag: Protects your belongings from water damage.
• Glow stick: Provides light during power outages.
• Whistle: Used for signaling for help.
• Flashlight: Essential for navigating in the dark.
• Thermal blanket: Helps maintain body temperature.
• Ziplock bag: Keeps important documents and belongings dry.
• First-aid kit: Provides basic medical supplies.
• Heavy-duty scissors: Useful for various purposes.
• Stickers and magnet: Show off your Pasig pride!
• Family disaster preparedness booklet: Offers valuable information and guidance.

Why is this initiative important? The Philippines is a country prone to natural disasters, such as typhoons, earthquakes, and floods. Having an Emergency Go Bag readily available can make a significant difference in an emergency situation. It empowers families to take charge, stay safe, and cope with the immediate aftermath of a disaster until help arrives.

More than just a bag, it’s peace of mind Mayor Sotto emphasizes that the Emergency Go Bag campaign is not just about providing supplies; it’s about promoting a culture of preparedness. By equipping families with these essential items and knowledge, the city aims to reduce panic and confusion during emergencies.

How can you get your Emergency Go Bag? The distribution of the Emergency Go Bags is currently underway and is expected to be completed soon. The schedule and specific details will be announced through various channels, including the Pasig City government website, social media pages, and barangay officials. Make sure to stay updated and claim your family’s Go Bag when it’s your turn!

Let’s be Pasig Ready! This initiative by Mayor Vico Sotto sets a commendable example for other local governments in the Philippines. By prioritizing disaster preparedness and empowering its citizens, Pasig City is taking a proactive step towards building a more resilient community. Let’s all support this initiative and be Pasig Ready!
