Students from the Notre Dame of Kidapawan College in North Cotabato province participate in an earthquake and fire drill in line with the National Disaster Preparedness Consciousness Month. The celebration is in connection with Presidential Executive Order No. 137 that designates the month of July as National Disaster Consciousness Month in order to heighten public awareness on the importance of disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness.
All national government agencies, local government units, non-government organizations, private sector, media, academe and other stakeholders working towards the promotion of social welfare, human security and environmental protection are participating in this month-long observance. This year’s theme is “Kahandaan at Kaligtasan ng Pamayanan, Pundasyon ng Kaunlaran”. (Photo by Geonarri Solmerano)
