Secretary Eduardo del Rosario said the DHSUD will make sure evacuation centers will be both sturdy and comfortable for residents seeking shelter when there are earthquakes, typhoons, heavy flooding, and whenever Taal is exhibiting unrest. "We hope to put up another evacuation center in Nasugbu," del Rosario said in a statement on Tuesday. On Monday, three evacuation centers were inaugurated, strategically located beyond the 14-kilometer danger zone, in Barangay Calayaan, Sta. Teresita; Barangay San Juan, Alitagtag; and Barangay Dos, Mataasnakahoy.
