Libo-libong netizens ang dumalo sa “Kasali Kami: A Disaster Preparedness Webinar for Women, Children, Youth and Students, and Senior Citizens” na inilunsad ng National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) at ng Office of Civil Defense (OCD), kahapon, Marso 7, 2022, 9:00A.M.

Tinalakay sa webinar ang mga paraan sa pagpapaigting ng kahandaan ng mga kababaihan, kabataan, mag-aaral at maging ng mga senior citizens mula sa banta ng panganib at sakuna.

Ayon kay Attorney Tecson John Lim, direktor ng Civil Defense Capacity Building and Training Service, mahalaga ang pagkakaisa sa oras ng panganib at sakuna.

“Nakita na natin ang kahalagahan ng ating pagkakaisa sa mga kalamidad at sakunang ating napagdaanan na. Ang pagkakaisa ay susi sa pagsasakatuparan ng lahat ng ating mga layunin tungo sa katatagan.” aniya.

Dagdag pa niya, mas pinaigting ng pandemya ang pagnanais ng pamahalaan at publiko na magkaroon ng mas mahusay na paghahanda at programa tungo sa isang ligtas na komunidad.
