As the number of man-made and natural disasters increases every year, the need to enhance public and individual awareness in disaster management, preparedness, and response is very essential.

Engr. Rolando S. Josue, Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer (PDRRMO) served as resource speaker of the said activity conducted on July 18, 2016 at PENRO Office, Boac, Marinduque.
Engr. Josue started his lecture with the basic facts about the weather, weather forecasts and its importance.

Likewise, current situation and global problems like climate change, El niño and La niña were also given emphasis in his presentation.
Afterwards, he discussed the safety measures and precautions that an individual must do in case of typhoon and other natural calamity. He gave emphasis on the do’s and don’ts specially like taking selfies during the manifestation of disaster.
