The regional disaster council has lined up a series of activities for the celebration of National Disaster Consciousness Month starting July 1 to July 31.
Office for Civil Defense (OCD) Regional Director Adriano Fuego said that the National Disaster Consciousness Month celebration will be spearheaded by the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) and the OCD.
Fuego said the celebration is an important one as this will increase the people’s awareness of disasters.
The RDCC headed by Police Regional Director Chief Supt. Jaime Caringal has presided over a meeting held last Tuesday to finalize plans for the celebration.
Until recently the National Disaster Consciousness Month is celebrated for only one week but a proclamation numbered 137 mandates its celebration for an entire month.
This year’s theme is “Safe Ka Ba? Programa Laban Sa Kalamidad, Tungo Sa Pag – Unlad.”
The activities for the Month of July will include the hanging of streamers, official launching of the occasion, joint meeting of the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council and City Disaster Coordinating Council.
There will also be a one day forum on the Civil Defense Deputized Coordinator, sports feast, earthquake drills, water search and rescue training, disaster preparedness seminar, poster making and essay writing contest, awarding of winners, signing of Memorandum of Agreement with Institute of Criminology Western Mindanao State University and closing ceremonies.
