DRRM Caravan in Pangasinan

By June 5, 2016Inside News, News

THE Office of Civil Defense (OCD), in partnership with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in the Ilocos Region, rolled out its Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) Caravan for government information officers and media in Pangasinan.

Regional Director Melchito Castro said OCD said “Information is vital during disaster operations. Mahalaga ang mga reports na mula sa media at mga information officers para makapagbigay kami sa OCD ng tamang intervention during disasters,”

The activity aims to sustain the connection of Regional DRRMC to media and to bridge the gap of information dissemination, he added.

Castro clarified that the Regional DRRM Council does not only refer to OCD alone but to the entire council which has various line agencies as members. These member-agencies collate and verify information submitted by authorities before sending these to the national council and to the public. (VHS_PIA Pangasinan)
