"Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson said the DPWH is taking the lead role in the Inter-agency Steering Committee that was formed to conduct a risk assessment study for Metro Manila and the surrounding basin area.
The IASC, Singson said, will look into the priority structural and non-structural measures that will provide sustainable flood management up to the designated safety level.
The committee will likewise conduct consultation activities, including meetings, workshops, and seminars among stakeholders.
“This will ensure that their concerns are duly considered into the risk assessment and to agree on the flood risk management,” Singson said.
The DPWH is scurrying to improve its flood control projects to prevent a repeat of the devastation of Ondoy, which left Metro Manila crippled and most houses submerged in water due to raging floods."
