00:00 Because of the dangerous heat we are experiencing,

00:03 a group has called for the government to declare a national climate emergency.

00:08 According to the Center for Energy, Ecology and Development,

00:11 it is important that the government has sufficient funds and allocation

00:15 for action on climate change.

00:17 According to the experts, we are experiencing the worst El Nino

00:21 and it is possible that it will get hotter in the next few months.

00:29 Historically, we have seen hot temperatures during strong El Nino episodes

00:36 and then the temperatures are still breaching or exceeding the strong El Nino episodes.

00:44 We are calling for the declaration of a national climate emergency.

00:48 It is also important that there is a corresponding fund and allocation

00:53 because the aid alone will not cover this.

00:58 To avoid water service interruption,

01:01 the Department of Environment and Natural Resources

01:04 has called for the use of water.

01:06 The Department of Health does not recommend

01:09 taking a bath on a daily basis to avoid affecting the water supply.

01:14 Instead, they recommend using wet cotton or spray bottles

01:17 as a freshener for the face and body.

01:20 If I were to recommend taking a shower three times a day during the heat,

01:27 the water will be drained and we will be in drought.

01:30 We will not have food.

01:32 So, my recommendation is to also conserve water.

01:36 This is a practice because based on projections,

01:41 we still have at least two months of drought conditions

01:45 that we need to overcome, this May and June.

01:49 So, even if we have sufficient water, we will practice conservation.
