Emergency Response to Cebu Earthquake: Delivering Lifesaving Water to Victims
The northern region of Cebu Island in the Philippines was severely affected by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake on September 30. In response, the Peace Boat Disaster Relief (PBV) has dispatched staff to initiate water supply support in the impacted areas.
Amidst ongoing building collapses and disrupted lifelines due to the intense tremors, securing safe drinking water has emerged as a critical challenge. Clean and sanitary water is a vital lifeline for those living in evacuation shelters.
PBV has a history of partnering with local organizations for disaster relief efforts in the Philippines, particularly in the aftermath of typhoons. These established connections and prior experience enable us to assess the situation effectively and plan for mid- to long-term support.
Our commitment is to provide continued assistance in tandem with local agencies to ensure that those affected can find some measure of security amidst the chaos.
This prompt emergency response is made possible by the ongoing support of our Monthly Supporters. As disasters occur with increasing frequency across the globe, we are reaching out for more allies in disaster relief. We invite you to join us and support our efforts in aiding these affected areas.
