Butuan City- Typhoon affected areas in Surigao del Norte received kits for barangay nutrition scholars shared by the National Nutrition Council Caraga on 22-24 December 2021.
The BNS kits are part of the personal protection against COVID-19 virus while the BNSs are on duty. Items included in the kit are facemasks, alcohol and shield.
Areas visited by NNC with kits provided are the municipalities of Sison, Placer, Bacuag, Gigaquit, Claver, Tubud, Alegria and Surigao City.
The visit also monitored the post disaster situation and presence of evacuation areas. Except for Surigao City most of the LGUs with evacuation centers returned back home after 72 hours post disaster.
NNC is hopeful to visit the LGUs in Dinagat and Siargao Islands to meet with the nutrition networks and provide necessary response.
The BNSs as member of the nutrition cluster at the LGU level will help assess and monitor nutrition status of vulnerable groups particularly the children and the mothers. #LVPVargas
