Said plaque of recognition was earlier awarded by regional DRRMC chairperson and Office of Civil Defence regional director Albert Mogol and Dept. of Social Welfare and Development Undersecretary for Disaster Response Marco Bautista.
The four municipal DRRMCs that received the ‘beyond compliant’ seal were Bokod,Benguet; Bontoc and Sagada, Mountain Province and the provincial DRRMC of Mountain Province.
The municipality’s DRRMC was then visible with the conduct of assessments, information education sessions for barangay officials and barangay-based health workers on their readiness to pre-emptive disasters especially during the height of preventing the Covid virus from spreading in the years 2020 and 2021.
Regular meetings were then conducted with the local officials and other municipal staff and volunteers.
In a national search earlier conducted by the national DRRMC, 48 local DRRMCs of the Cordillera passed the assessment having garnered a “fully compliant” seal and four earlier mentioned LGUs having gained “beyond compliant” seal with guidelines from RA 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010.
