The Covid-19 pandemic has changed or forced our society to change in ways we probably have never imagined. Our country has made much improvement in disaster preparedness such that protocols and programs on disaster preparedness are slowly being integrated into government policies, budget, and community life. One might say that the focus of much of our policies have been on the natural disasters which our country experiences more frequently such as typhoons, floods, and earthquake.

Republic Act 11332 was signed into law last 26 April 2019 and repealed RA 3573 “Law of Reporting Communicable Diseases”.
