Wh the population was put into a state of alert during the first phases of the Pinatubo crisis, authorities from the NDCC showed indisputable efficicy in managing the people.
Prior the eruption, no precautionary measures were tak until signs of activity were observed in 1991. This could be attributed to the absce of any oral or writt records of volcanic activity for the past 400 years in the surrounding areas.
Pambansang Tanggapan Para Sa Pagtugon Ng Sakuna
By April 3, 1991, PHIVOLCS, after having concluded that the volcano was reawaking, decided to evacuate Aetas villages that were lying within a radius of 10 km around the summit. On May 13, 1991, a 5-level warning and evacuation system was constituted. This system included a conctric danger zone surrounding the volcano, continuously fixing four radii of evacuation from 10 to 40 kilometers betwe June 7 and 18, which mostly depded on the evolution of the threat. On the day of June 26, 1991, orders of evacuation were conveyed to local authorities or Coordination Councils (DCC). During those times, the tire zone located within the 10 km radius around the crater of Pinatubo has be decreed as permant high risk sector by PHIVOLCS prohibiting all human occupation of the zone.
In the time of Pinatubo’s eruptive phase in June 1991, most of the population reacted favorably to the evacuation orders due to the early preparation and coordination efforts the authorities on the field have demonstrated. However, there were still some Aetas that changed their minds and decided to return to the mountains seeking refuge in caves and spiritual comfort from their God. There were also others that refused to leave, having be convinced that the expected eruption would not be extreme ough to reach their homes, and having be scared at the thought of having to abandon their belongings and crops. By the time the second warning was giv out in July 1992, the population, having be more aware of previous evts, were much more prepared. Despite the PHIVOLCS frequt pleas and the population's positive response to it though, a total of 300 Aetas families still refused to evacuate.
Under the DRRM Act, the National Economic and Developmt Authority (NEDA) is designated as the lead agcy for the recovery. NEDA is mandated to coordinate the recovery support functions of national governmt agcies, local governmts, and civil society organizations (CSOs). However, during the recovery from Typhoon Haiyan, NDRRMC was caught unprepared due to the typhoon's overwhelming impacts. It was in this context that the governmt, through the Presidt's Memorandum Order 62 of December 2013, created the Office of the Presidtial Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (OPARR) to focus exclusively on coordinating the recovery process. OPARR aims to unify efforts of the governmt and other institutions involved in recovery. It has special power to mobilize the full resources of the country and to expedite the decision-making process under the direct authority of the Presidt. OPARR was dissolved after two years.
