Readiness and Preparedness
August 18 was the day when a 6.6 magnitude earthquake affects and disturbed the province of Masbate in Bicol Region. The earthquake left one person dead, injured 51 people and 3700 people have been affected. Hearing this kind of news made me pity them. Resilience and Readiness has been a good help to lower the damage and casualties. A good example of this readiness is the government’s implementation of “simultaneous earthquake drills” on different LGU’s, organization and school on properly handling this kind of situation. In addition they also teach how to do first aid on assisting patients or victims who encountered accidents upon earthquakes. As our government implements programs, we need to cooperate and put the lessons in our mind. We should also share this knowledge on our relatives to spread the steps or ways incase we encounter calamities like earthquakes and accidents.
