MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb. 15 (PIA) -- The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) conducted a hazard mapping orientation in 14 barangays in the municipality of Libagon to enhance knowledge on disaster-risk and vulnerabilities in their areas. | |||
“At least 14 barangay chairmen from the 14 municipalities of Libagon attended the one-day hazard mapping orientation,” Civil Defense officer Marichu Tan disclosed to PIA-Maasin. It was also participated by the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (MDRRMC) members headed by Libagon Mayor Oliver Ranque, she added. | |||
The activity taught the barangay officials how to conduct hazard mapping, especially those barangay residents at risk in times of disaster, before, during and after any calamity, Tan said. | |||
The hazard mapping orientation also aims to strengthen the disaster risk reduction council at the local level, especially the barangay DRRMC, since they will be the first to act in times of disaster,” Tan said. (PIA 8-Southern Leyte) | |||
