Shell Philippines has signed on as the latest Gold Donor for WeatherPhilippines to enhance its Climate Resilience project in Palawan with the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD).
The company will install 30 automated weather stations (AWS) on top of the 14 already present and online in the province. This new partnership will boost the disaster preparedness and climate resilience of Puerto Princesa City and nearby municipalities.
The AWS will be deployed in Shell gas stations, oil depots, and PCSD offices. The partners will be taught proper installation and maintenance of the equipment. They will also be trained in Weather 101 and Tropical Cyclone 101 to be customized to focus on ecotourism and disaster and risk reduction, which are aligned with the Provincial Sustainable Development Plan.
