You probably knew what happened to Calgary during its great flood epidemic. Thousands of expensive homes were submerged on dirty flood. Too many victims of storm, tornado and flood. Did you know that even if the people who lived there are from the middle class think that money is hard to earn in this time and age. They maybe have beautiful homes but what if their homes are their only assets. How they can start anew? There that's the problem. You can start a new life by borrowing from the banks or at least if your houses are insured. The problem wont stop until all the flood water is gone. Each and every owner will have to clean the mess inside their own house. The renovation and general clean up will be tantamount, and it wont be affordable. Consider your house as without worth when the renovation bill is more than the cost that was spent in building that house. If your house was submerged on dirty water for a month? You wont believe the parasites in it, the molds and rotten organism and God knows what else that flood water is made up and where it came from. Scary!
What about in the Philippines? Same thing but worst of all you wont believe that it's better to burn all those houses submerged from the flood water or be victims of pandemic and epidemic.
Now what? The many government agencies should have the financial capability to help its constituents, the people in their own area of responsibility. The problem to these agencies of the government is funding. Where they get their fund? Municipality depends on its population and how many are paying taxes. Let say the population of certain area is in million people. However, there are only 250 thousands (250,000) of people who can pay taxes. Imagine the gap. What happened to other people? They are probably old people and retired, young children and babies, students, people without job, people who do not need to pay tax because their salary is low or from the low income bracket, other people pay their taxes where they work or place of work and their municipal do not have to tax them. When it comes to housing, only the owner pays the tax if the owner owns the house determined through land title ownership. When it comes to business people some of them do not give sale's receipt so cannot determine how much the vendor has to keep and pay when it comes to pay income tax.
By the way, dead people have to pay their yearly tomb site. I mean their family or relatives have to pay for the yearly accommodation at the grave yard site so that adds up to the financial capability of the municipal to function and pay its legal obligation to the public such as paying their municipal workers, management and staff. The cleanliness and beautification project of the community, gardening, electricity, water facility, public and government funded hospital, school system (public only), town hall, sportsplex, all buildings and roads, highway (construction) and separate fund for victims of calamity.
Public and private sector are separate in its obligation to pay. If all the SYSTEM within a good government has been fully utilized and when all receipts are then audited by a legal accountant or economist and financial comptroller you wont believe that there are so many surplus and you wont believe how wealthy your country is.
Canada has that full utilization of everything, from its pennies and bills. Yes they count their PENNIES! They believe in ACCOUNTING and STATISTICS. Math is not that difficult to understand for as long as there is no tricks.
Why the need to help the neighbors from other countries? So that you wont be poisoned from dirty water.
