ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Planate Management Group is pleased to announce its collaboration with Prime Consulting on the redesign of an emergency warehouse facility in Tacloban, Eastern Visayas. The project supports the Philippine Red Cross and strengthens regional disaster response capabilities.
The New Zealand Aid Programme funds the project, while the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade administers it. Together, these partners aim to improve emergency preparedness and response across the region.
Through this redesign, the Philippine Red Cross will improve its ability to respond quickly and effectively to disasters. Moreover, the project reflects both organizations’ shared commitment to sustainable infrastructure and community resilience. As a result, the upgraded facility will enhance operational readiness during crisis events.
“This collaboration with Prime Consulting reflects a shared dedication to strengthening disaster response infrastructure,” said Chris Decker, President of Planate Management Group. “We are proud to support this initiative and contribute to efforts that deliver real humanitarian impact in the Philippines.”
In addition, the project marks an important milestone in the relationship between Planate and Prime Consulting. Recently, the two firms established a U.S.-registered joint venture. This partnership combines their international expertise to pursue strategic opportunities in engineering, humanitarian, and resilience-focused infrastructure.
“We are excited to partner with Planate Management Group on this vital project for the Philippine Red Cross,” said Alan Pearson, President of Prime Consulting. “Not only does this effort support emergency response, but it also lays the foundation for a strong, long-term collaboration.”
Ultimately, this collaboration highlights the importance of international cooperation in disaster preparedness. By leveraging their combined technical strengths, Planate and Prime Consulting aim to deliver a purpose-built facility that supports the Philippine Red Cross’s mission and strengthens community readiness for future emergencies.
