$700,000 was allocated to an emergency management center and local governments across the country to prevent, readiness and expansion of natural cataclysms;
$3,000,000 was spent on equipment and training of Ministry of Defense employees to provide protection to citizens from unused combat materials and war explosive waste nationwide;
$600,000 worth of defense department illegally overprotected property such as Graders, generators, tents and high-end vehicles, were handed over to various municipalities so they can provide basic services to the population.
