The Muntinlupa City government plans to revise its protocol on evacuation during calamities.

In a statement, Mayor Ruffy Biazon said he has ordered the Muntinlupa City Department of Disaster Resilience and Management to form a technical working group that would focus on drafting "improved guidelines" for evacuation.

He gathered personnel from the city government, barangays and the schools division office to discuss the planned improvements in evacuation protocol.

"May mga na-encounter tayong challenges nitong nagdaang bagyo katulad ng pag-a-identify ng designated rooms sa public schools evacuation centers (last resort ito kung hindi na talaga pwede sa covered court), paglilinis ng mga naiwang kalat, proteksyon sa mga gamit, at iba pang concerns, " he said.

Biazon previously berated evacuees during the onslaught of storm Paeng who allegedly destroyed the blackboard at a classroom, and left garbage scattered at a school's stairway.

The minor who allegedly smashed the blackboard would render community service, and at the same time would be given a "second chance" like continuing his education, he added.

Biazon said during the meeting, city government officials came up with "best practices" that would ensure the safety of evacuees and speed up emergency response.

"Nabanggit ang mga best practices na pwedeng i-adopt as standards ng mga barangay, katulad ng pagbibigay ng forms na sasagutan ng evacuees para sa accountability kung sakaling may masira sila sa gamit habang nasa evacuation center. Mas palalakasin din ang camp management, gayundin ang coordination sa schools, " he said.
