The local government of Quezon, Quezon received 1,700 family food packs from the DSWD Field Office IV-A last January 20, 2025. These food packs will serve as replenishment of the prepositioned relief goods of the Department in the locality’s storage facility.

The local government unit (LGU) of Quezon is one of the 67 LGUs in the CALABARZON Region with an existing partnership with the DSWD Field Office IV-A for the prepositioning of relief goods in their respective warehouses.

The prepositioning of relief goods in various warehouses within the region is a strategy being employed by the DSWD to ensure the immediate deployment of support to affected families in times of calamities.

Being an island municipality, the prepositioning of goods in Quezon, Quezon, for instance, allows immediate release of family food packs to affected families regardless of weather or sea conditions.

Last October 2024, majority of the prepositioned goods in the said locality was already distributed to affected families of Typhoon #KristinePH. [with reports from DPGlodoviza]
