Ruby/Hagupit likely to hit Yolanda/Haiyan-ravaged areas

THEY haven’t fully recovered from the physical and psychic trauma of last November’s Super Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan’s fury and now Super Typhoon Ruby/Hagupit seems likely to inflict the same cruel treatment on Samar and Leyte (including Tacloban) and parts of Cebu by Saturday.

Are the people to be hit ready? Are the national and local government agencies mobilized to reduce and manage risks? Will they do the rescue effort well after ST Ruby/Hagupit has done its worst?
