DOST Biliran conducts post disaster assessment on SETUP projects

The DOST Biliran SETUP Team led by Ms. Gracevillalyn Saldo, Project Assistant II and Mr Teddy Abenido, Project Assistant I conducted on April 19-22, 2022 the assessment of the impacts of typhoon Agaton on the operations of SETUP assisted projects in Biliran Province. 

The recent flooding caused by heavy rains brought by the typhoon affected vast areas in the island. Many properties were damaged by the flash flooding and business operations were hampered due to unpassable roads. The assessment will collect data as to the extent of damages experienced by the enterprises in order for DOST to decide if deferment of refund is necessary to help the respective entrepreneurs to cope with the effect of the natural disasters.
