CALASIAO – The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (PDRRMC) conducted a flood evacuation drill with a local government unit, this time with the residents of Barangay Talibaew of this town.

Provincial Administrator Raffy Baraan said the drill was done to assess the level of preparedness of PDRRMC member agencies and local government units particularly at the barangay level in the event of a flood.

During the drill, barangay officials simulated how they would implement flood contingency operations from the sounding of alarms and the implementation of pre-emptive procedures and forced evacuation.

Demonstrations by the Coast Guard, the Water Search and Rescue Team (WASAR), Bureau of Fire personnel, Philippine Red Cross, and staff of both the Provincial Health Office and the municipal health office of Calasiao, were also presented. (PIO/EjS)
