GENERAL SANTOS CITY (13 March 2015) – The Integrated
Barangay Affairs and the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
(CDRRMO) conducted a Rapid Community Response Program (RCRP) Wednesday, March
11, to train barangay volunteers for calamity
preparedness.
The RCRP is a two-day training-workshop implemented by the
city government to equip barangay residents the basics of disaster preparedness
and mitigation skills.
The participating barangays were Baluan, Fatima, Lagao, San
Isidro, San Jose and Sinawal.
CDRRMC action officer Bong Dacera handled the seminar and
introduced the volunteers to the plausible hazards their respective barangays
are prone to.
He also taught them how the CDRRMO analyzes community risk
assessment and tools for hazard assessment.
A simulation drill set on March 21 will be held after the
one-week planning for simulation drill.
“After the two-day classroom seminar, they will go down the
purok level and facilitate community organizing,” said Dacera.
“We give them one week to plan, and then the following week,
Saturday, will be the drill simulation of the first batch,” he added.
The RCRP is also part of the advocacy of City Mayor Ronnel
Rivera to attain environmental security and rehabilitation through disaster
risk resilience.
The city mayor plans to make the activity regular in order
to empower barangays in times of disaster or emergency. (Gensan CPIO/ Sharmagne
