On the other hand, Herbosa said that the DOH has already tapped concerned LGUs and reiterated their guidelines for addressing nutrition-related problems during emergencies and disasters.

“Nagprocure na tayo ng micronutrient powder, yung lipid nutrient supplement paste small quantity — ito yung mga pang disaster and for pregnant and lactating women,” Herbosa explained, adding that they are also eyeing the establishment of breastfeeding stations and centralized kitchens outside evacuation rooms.
