CLARK FREEPORT – To promptly mobilize personnel in preparing and responding to any crisis situation, Clark Development Corporation (CDC) recently created its Crisis Mitigation and Resilience Office (CMRO) in this Freeport.
CDC President and CEO Noel F. Manankil with CDC Board of Directors chaired by CDC Chairman Jose De Jesus approved the creation of CMRO that will support the state-owned firm and Clark locators in their crisis management program.
To efficiently and effectively facilitate its tasks, the CMRO will establish five operational areas that are aligned with the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council’s objectives. These include Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Disaster Response, Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery and Crisis Mitigation.
