Some 600 personnel in the municipal and barangay disaster risk reduction and management council of Aurora underwent disaster preparedness training to raise the level of disaster response in the province, officials said.
According to Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Central Luzon Regional Director Anthony Nuyda, the training would improve the efficiency of the council members in giving emergency assistance during calamities.
“Ang DILG ay palaging naka-antambay sa ating mga pamahalaang lokal upang magbigay ng anumang klaseng tulong tungo sa kaunlaran ng ating komunidad,” he said in a Philippine News Agency report.
“Ating hangarin na sa anumang banta ng panganib na tayong lahat ay maging handa, at sa anumang uri ng sakuna, tayo ay maging listo,’’ Nuyda said.
The event called “Aurora, Handa Ka Ba? Preparedness and Resiliency Enhancement: Promoting Accurate Response during Emergency (PREPARE)” was organized through DILG’s Local Governance Resource Center “Tambuli.”
