BOGO READIES FOR DISASTER

The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) in its regular session held October 16, 2013 approved Resolution No. 232 authorizing the mayor to enter into rice loan with National Food Authority (NFA). This allows the city to purchase rice on credit exclusively for three purposes : 1) relief operations when in state of calamity; 2) buffer stockpiling; and 3) rehabilitation project. The move is part of the disaster and relief operation plan of the city government in responding to calamity.

In the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Bogo may purchase as much as 2,000 bags of rice or up to the amount appropriated for the purpose whichever is lower. Earlier in March this year the city government opened a Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF). The trust fund account is disbursed only for predisaster, on-disaster and post-disaster purposes.

The rice loan facility wisely eliminates administrative bureaucracy of preparing purchase documents in the midst of emergency. Thus, the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (LDRRM) Council and the city government stay focused on the crisis situation. Other matters incidental to disaster and relief operations such as administrative processes are attended to after emergency situation has settled.

The NFA had been a partner with the City of Bogo in its disaster preparednessprogram since 2005 when the first MOA was signed. It is renewed year after year.

What is a tremor? 

Tremors with size of around 2.0 or less are typically called microearthquakes; they are not regularly felt by individuals and are for the most part recorded just on neighborhood seismographs.

The minute size gives an assessment of seismic tremor measure that is substantial over the complete scope of extents, a trademark that was inadequate in other size scales. 

Force measures the quality of shaking delivered by the seismic tremor at a certain area. Power is resolved from impacts on individuals, human structures, and the indigenous habitat. A seismic tremor can deliver shaking of a wide range of intensities. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is utilized as a part of the US.

Russia sends more naval ships to Syrian coast

This not a good news. Is this the sign of World War III Bogohanons?

Here is the article that I've found in gmanetwork.com by By GABRIELA BACZYNSKA

MOSCOW - Russia is sending more naval vessels to the coast of Syria, state news agencies reported on Friday, in a move Moscow says will help prevent a threatened U.S. attack on its ally President Bashar al-Assad.

The Russian Defense Ministry said in late August it would carry out a routine rotation of its ships off Syria.

But local media said on Friday additional units were also on the way. Interfax news agency quoted an unnamed navy source as saying large landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov was heading for the eastern Mediterranean.

"The vessel will dock in Novorossiysk where it will take special cargo on board and head to the designated area of military service in the eastern Mediterranean," the source said without giving more details.

RIA news agency quoted an unnamed senior navy source as saying on Friday that the frigate Smetlivy would leave for the Mediterranean on Sept. 12-14 and the corvette Shtil and missile boat Ivanovets would approach Syria at the end of the month.

The Defense Ministry declined to comment on the reports but Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said on Thursday the Russian navy currently had a "pretty strong group" there.

"The Russian navy does not intend to take part directly or indirectly in a possible regional conflict," he told the state Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

"Our navy vessels are a guarantee of stability, guarantee of peace, an attempt to hold back other forces ready to start military action in the region."

Landing ships Minsk and Novocherkassk and the reconnaissance ship Prirazovye passed through the Bosphorus on Sept. 5. on their way to the Mediterranean and Moscow has also sent missile cruiser Moskva and destroyer Admiral Panteleyev there.

Russia has a small naval facility in the Syrian port of Tartous, its only naval base outside the former Soviet Union.

Western and Arab states seek to oust Assad, and the United States is considering military strikes to punish Damascus for its alleged use of chemical weapons.

Russia, a long-time weapons supplier to Damascus, opposes any U.S. intervention, saying it would lack a mandate from the U.N. Security Council, where Moscow has blocked Western-led attempts to increase pressure on Assad.

The West accuses Russia of protecting Assad and the dispute has overshadowed a G20 summit in St Petersburg this week.
