NATIONAL DISASTER RESILIENCE MONTH

The National Disaster Resilience Month is formerly called the National Disaster Consciousness Month. This celebration carries the theme: “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa Tunay na Pagbabago”. As the theme implies, being aware or prepared on disasters and accidents builds up disaster resilience. 

We are vulnerable to hazards. Hazards come in two different classifications, these are the natural hazards and human induced hazards. Natural hazards can be an earthquake, volcanic eruptions, flood, tropical cyclones, and armed conflict. Human induced hazards are hazards that is caused by humans or doings of humans like fire, accidents, and even war. These hazards give threats and great effect in our lives.

The focus of this National Disaster Resilience is to promote the culture of disaster preparedness and in order to reduce the risks and impacts of those hazards into our lives.

If we are prepared, we are far away from dangers or anything that can harm us, we can be safe by being prepared at all times. Disasters, accidents, and dangers, can come anytime they want. The fact that we cannot control their occurrence and the only thing that we can do is by being prepared.
