YOUTH DRRM TRAINING SA ABRA, ISINUSULONG PARA SA MAS MATATAG NA KOMUNIDAD
Tinalakay sa pulong ang pagpapatupad ng Agent for Risk and Damage Management (AGRIDAM) Project for Youth 2026 at ang pagsasagawa ng Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Training for Youth sa Abra mula Mayo 18 hanggang 20.
Layunin ng programa na palakasin ang partisipasyon ng kabataan sa disaster preparedness at resiliency upang makatulong sa pagbuo ng mas ligtas at mas handang komunidad. The activity aims to strengthen youth participation in disaster preparedness and community resilience through the continued implementation of the Agent for Risk and Damage Management (AGRIDAM) Project.
Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (CBDRRM) Training seeks to equip participants with the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to effectively implement disaster risk reduction and management strategies at the community level. Anchored on Republic Act No. 10121, the training promotes active community participation, strengthens local capacities, and empowers barangays and residents to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters through a coordinated and community-based approach that enhances resilience and reduces vulnerabilities.
The initiative reflects the commitment of partner agencies in developing capable and resilient young leaders who can actively serve and protect their communities during emergencies and disasters.
During the program, participants actively engaged in workshops, discussions, and simulation activities where they shared ideas and experiences related to disaster preparedness and response. The participants were divided into four groups focusing on different disaster scenarios namely: bagyo (typhoon), baha (tlood), lindol (earthquake), and sunog (fire). Through collaborative workshops and practical exercises, the groups discussed appropriate disaster management strategies and community-based response measures.
At the culmination of the activity, participants demonstrated cooperation, teamwork, and active participation by presenting their insights and proposed actions on how to effectively manage disasters within their respective barangays.
The training facilitators include Civil Defense Officer Maam Alysson, , From PDRRM Office, Sir Arnel Garcia, LGU Luba LDRRMO Sir Denise Gayyed and to all the respective facilitators and trainors from the RedCross Abra .
