More education on and learning needed by public sector in crisis management?

Makati City, PHL November 15, 2013

Ochoa, Almendras now in charge of relief operations

We were discussing with some AGSB professors critiquing the management and leadership of the Yolanda typhoon victims relief operations. We may say that the way CNN criticized PNOY was uncalled for but our kababayan were at the bad end of mismanagement and lack of forceful leadership.

The supertyphoon was bad enough but the allegations on the challenges of the ground operations definitely needed improvement: relief distribution, relief , id of the dead, their retrieval and burial, security, cleandliness and clearing operations, and even handling of pr and interviews. We were pitiful due to the typhoon, and we were sorry mess in the management of the crisis. Some further education of public sector is needed on how to manage and lead such difficulties

Education leads to better action and handling of difficulties.

We had an MBAH student before who was the deputy of the Disaster Coordinating Council a Dr. and I gave my kudos for the able handling of the disaster in Infanta and Real Quezon (he handled it better than Americans handled Katrina victims) He became a congressman in the central Visayas. People were satisfied with how handled the disaster.
