Baguio City is preparing for a surge of tourists from November 13 to 18 as the ASEAN Summit break in Manila is expected to draw vacationers to the Summer Capital.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong ordered the partial activation of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and barangay disaster response teams to strengthen public safety measures.
He directed concerned offices to coordinate emergency warnings, prepare road-clearing operations, maintain tourist destinations, and manage traffic and crowds.
The City Health Services Office was also placed on standby for medical emergencies, while district health centers will remain accessible to the public.
Meanwhile, the Baguio City Police Office will deploy personnel to tourist spots to maintain peace, manage traffic, and respond to emergencies.
