Be PREPARED! Be RESILIENT!

National Disaster Resilience Month

“Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa tunay na Pagbabago”

        The Department of Health (DOH) join the annual observance of the National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRRM) this whole month of July with the theme “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa gTunay na Pagbabago”.

            This event calls for action among national agencies and local government units (LGUs) to prevent disaster resilience campaigns towards increasing public awareness on the importance of disaster risk reduction and management. This will cover four thematic areas, namely disaster prevention and mitigation disaster preparedness, disaster response and disaster rehabilitation and recovery.

            Every year of July is the National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRRM) in the Philippines. This order aims to further strengthen every individual’s capability to be disaster resilient. This July 2019 everybody encouraged to do the act to promote or support the disaster resilience of the community.

            In the local government unit, there is a lot of lined up activities. Some is conduct their information education campaign (IEC)to build awareness that can contribute to capacity development. Others should be doing tree planting activities, and skills trainings. But, whatever the LGU do, you need to do more. The following should guide you in your home, workplace or school to contribute in the campaign for disaster resilience. Evacuation is not a bad thing. Evacuation is important to everybody.

            If there is a disaster of course there were a lot of deaths, which we also commemorate during the National Disaster Resilience Month. So we should learn from there and keep in mind that life is at stake and we should be resilient in our own way. Remember that whatever actions you do that concerns disaster preparedness is a lot of contribution in everybody’s goal of having Disaster Resilient Community.

Be prepared! Be Resilient!
