The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) will deploy more than 2,200 volunteers for Undas.
In an interview, PRC Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang said preparations for Undas began several weeks ago. Volunteers were enlisted and given refresher trainings, briefings, and orientations.
Aside from personnel, the PRC will also set up nearly 300 first aid stations nationwide to ensure the safety and well-being of those visiting cemeteries.
A total of 190 ambulances will be on standby, with 66 of them set for deployment.
Patrol teams will also be sent to hard-to-reach areas, along with 59 mobile units and 155 welfare desks in key locations.
In addition, the agency has assured the presence of volunteers in airports, seaports, highways, bus terminals, barangay halls, and fuel stations.
