Cash and food assistance will be given to families whose houses have been damaged by strong winds which swept across three barangays in Sto. Tomas last October 9.
Provincial Social Welfare Development Office (PSWDO) chief Arlene Semblante said families affected by the destruction will each receive P5,000 while families owning the three partially damaged houses will get P3,000 each from the provincial government of Davao del Norte.
PSWDO will also provide them with rice, noodles and canned sardines on top of what they have received from the local government of Sto. Tomas.
Strong winds that hit at about 4 p.m. last Sunday totally damaged four houses and laid waste various crops in barangays Salvacion, San Vicente and Esperanza, said secretariat head Dorina Ararao of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MRRMO).
The freak incident wrought a total of P152,000 in damage to residential structures and P288,730 to crops.
Totally damaged houses belonged to Rogelio Alimin, Narciso Dolera, Marites Siasol and Avelina Cortez while those partially damaged are owned by Joseph Vido and Julius Gumabay.
