Ang mga department ng ating Munisipyo ay pinapayuhang magtalaga ng skeletal force upang matiyak na patuloy na maibibigay ang mga kinakailangang serbisyo sa ating mga kliyente, gaya ng burial permits at iba pang urgent services.

Para naman sa mga department na walang kailangang serbisyo o concern na nangangailangan ng skeletal force, maaaring hindi na magpapasok ng personnel.

Mananatiling nakaalerto ang ating Kapulisan, Health Department, Santa Maria MDRRMO, at mga tanggapan na kasama sa pagsisigurong handa ang ating LGU kung sakaling mayroong mga kababayan na kailangan ng agarang tulong.
