Ana District, Davao City Division is fortu-nate to have attended the 2-day Seminar Orientation on Disaster Risk Reduction Management held on October 28-29, 2017 at the school campus with the facilitation of the Philippine Red Cross. Eight (8) Modules were comprehensively delivered by Mr. Erwin C. Nacorda, Ms. Sigrid V. Haspe, Khristeine Mie E. Gallanon, Ms. Angelica D. Fuentes, and Ms. Aprille Kaye G. Ancla from Disaster Risk Response Team of Philippine Red Cross. Teacher-participants and few students were able to refresh and update themselves on matters pertaining to disasters.
The first day of the training brought the participants to a small- group discussion work-shop of the Introductory Module, the Training Orientation, in which establishing rapport among other participants and trainers was achieved with understanding on the norms and rules of the training. Acquaintance with the history of the Red Cross was also presented that led to the correc-tion of the misconception on the correct use and misuse of the Red Cross emblem. Module 1, Disaster Landscape in the Philippines and Hazard Review was also present-ed with a film showing leading to group dynamics workshop, unveiling the knowledge of infor-mation on reasons why Philippines is prone to disasters, understanding the nature and characteris-tics of the different hazard found in it. A quite thrilling activity has made participants interactive through Hazard Mapping in Module 2 wherein participants did a Mapping Exercise on identifying existing hazard risk re-sources in the school community. Participants were also able to present the identified risks in school and the School Head was made aware of the precautionary measures to be done.
Day 1 ended with Module 4 in which a workshop on Situation and Needs Assessment (SANA) was presented by group after identifying the existing risks, hazards, vulnerabilities and resources in the community. The second day of the seminar was productively facilitated with another four modules. Module 5, What To Do During Emergencies was conducted with Earthquake Preparedness and Fire Safety with actual drill. Protecting oneself from occurrences of such disasters and suppressing common household fire was actually demonstrated by all participants with the use of a Fire Ex-tinguisher. The school was required to update the creation of a Disaster Action Team as undertaken in Module 6 . Community Emergency Evacuation Plan and DRR Action Plan were also updated by the school team spearheaded by the School DRRM Coordinator, Mr. Ricky Ta-asan.
A lecture demonstration on First Aid Application was done in Module 8, the last mod-ule. Basic life support techniques and proper handling of injured persons in the event of emergen-cies were appropriately conducted. The day ended with smiles on participants’ faces. With the comprehensive DRRM knowledge given by the Philippine Red Cross Disaster Team, teacher-participants are now always ready with no panic in times of disasters with the information in hand.
