The Importance of a Flood Free and Clean Living Community
Background :
The residents of Purok 5, Fellings Village, John Bosco District particularly in our area who are living near the riverbank or one of the low lying villages in the city, which is 3rd class city in the province of Surigao del Sur, Mindanao that had always been experiencing floods due to the rising of the river waters in that area. It has been, observed that even just a slight rain fall; flood occurs and brings devastation to the houses, and to the people especially rainy seasons. As one of the resident of our Purok, I already witnessed how my neighbors suffered from this problem. They always, evacuate and after that clean their houses and lastly repair what has been damaged from the flood. In fact, houses there were built in high story style to avoid floods coming to their houses.
As a concern citizen, it really encourages me to help the people. That is why, there is a need to create a program that will help and lessen the burden of the people living in that area. There is a need to spread awareness and promote disciplinary action through planning and making a proposal that will solve the old and same problems experienced by the people in our area. A program that will inset active community participation through voluntary work, for this program will let the people see the importance of a flood free and a clean living community. Problem :
The number one problem in our community is flood. This problem is not new to the people in the community because it has been experienced several years ago and yet there is no solution being made. Problem is, people are not responsible enough in proper waste management, especially to the settlers near the river bank. Before, there are trees planted beside the river but now, it 's nowhere to be found but houses replacing the trees.
That is why when heavy rain fall came, rivers raise its waters and flood the people in the community. You can observe garbage floating in the water, worst is it
