Local government units (LGUs) nationwide were given 90 days to submit the assessment of buildings and other infrastructure in their respective areas, a top government official said Wednesday.
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said those who fail to comply are considered negligent of their obligation and could face administrative cases.“Local government units are expected to submit the structural assessment of the buildings and structures 90 days from today,” Año said in a press briefing at Camp Crame in Quezon City.
Año explained that the compliance of LGU’s is essential since what is at stake is the safety of their constituents amid the threat of earthquakes and other calamities that regularly hit the country. “Our assessment comes with funding and retrofitting plans for structures that need to be reinforced. This is a continuing process,” he said.
