OZAMIZ CITY: The City Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management (CDRRM) has directed all the coastal village chiefs to maintain an
updated list of fishermen in their respective localities.
Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog Sr. said the list should
include the kind of fishing vessels that fishermen operate.
The list is a must for barangays San Antonio, Doňa
Consuelo, Maningcol, Catadman, Carmen Annex, Baybay Triunfo, Baybay Sta. Cruz,
San Roque, Tinago, Malaubang, Pulot, Dimaluna, Tabid and Sinuza.
Fishing boats or vessels are marine vessels engaged
in fishing activities, which may be driven by paddle or by motor engine,
including those weighing up to five metric tons.
Barangay chiefs are to advise the fishermen in case
of a storm warning signal and implement strictly a “no seafaring” rule to any
fishing boat or vessel to avoid any disaster.
In the event that a fisherman or fishing boat sailed
during an enforced tropical storm warning signal, the chieftains must
immediately report the incident to the CDRRM office, the mayor added.
