๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) 12 joined the Third Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) at 2:00 P.M. on September 07, 2023, in response to the call of National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), through the Office of Civil Defense (OCD).
Assistant regional executive director for management services (ARD-MS) Ma. Elvira V. Lumayag emphasized the importance of being vigilant in times of disaster not only in the workplace but also at home.
During the 3rd Quarter NSED, the DENR 12 Regional Office, its two line bureaus -Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) - 12 and Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) - 12, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Offices (PENROs), and Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) conducted a simultaneous Earthquake Drill where employees performed the โDrop, Cover and Holdโ countermeasures which are considered as an appropriate action to reduce possible injuries and casualties during earthquakes.
In addition, employees were encouraged to practice their evacuation procedures, do a headcount once in their designated evacuation areas, and report to the designated safety marshals for further documentation.
NSED is a quarterly exercise organized by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and the Office of Civil Defense. This activity was intended to highlight the readiness of the Filipino people in case a magnitude 7.2 earthquake happens, particularly the Tagbilaranons who experienced the tragic Bohol earthquake in 2013.
DENR-12 adheres to disaster resilience activities with its employees considering that the Philippines is prone to earthquakes due to its location in the โPacific Ring of Fire.โ (๐๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐-12, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐ต๐ฐ, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ด๐ข๐บ๐ข๐ฑ, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฎ, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ข๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ข) | ๐๐๐๐๐๐ BidaAngHanda #NSED2023 #DENRXII
