PROTECT THE ALIVE AND IMMEDIATELY BURY THE THOUSAND DEAD BODIES IN GRAVEYARDS TO PREVENT SPREAD OF DIFFERENT DECEASES AND CONTAMINATION OF UNDERGROUND FRESH WATER, ETC. WITH HIGH RESPECT. Burial is the preferred method of body disposal in emergency situations unless there are cultural and religious observances which prohibit it. The location of graveyards should be agreed with the community and attention should be given to ground conditions, proximity to groundwater drinking sources (which should be a least 50m) and to the nearest habitat (500m). An area of at least 1500m2 per 10,000 population is required. The burial site can be divided to accommodate different religious groups if necessary. Burial depth should be at least 1.5m above the groundwater table, with at least a 1m covering of soil. Burial in individual graves is preferred and can be dug manually. If coffins are not available, corpses should be wrapped in plastic sheeting to keep the remains separate from the soil. Burial procedures should be consistent with the usual practices of the community concerned. Sincerely, Knights of WOMA-Philipppines.
