This Executive Order establishes a Presidential Task Force to Mitigate the Effects of the El Niño/La Niña phenomenon, recognizing its impacts on health, environment, socio-economic conditions, and agriculture, with implications for food security. The Order mandates an inter-agency composition, including national departments, agencies, and civil society, to formulate and implement disaster awareness, rehabilitation, and public information plans, mobilize support and funding, and execute other interventions. It prescribes specialized working committees addressing agriculture, natural resources, early warning systems, energy, infrastructure, consumer protection, health, and relief operations, with the Bureau of Soils and Water Management as secretariat. Implementation directives include regular reporting to the President, full cooperation from all government entities, absorption of the previous La Niña Task Force, and immediate effectivity.
