City-Wide Shake Out Drill
Davao City will be conducting a City-Wide
Earthquake and Tsunami Drill dubbed as “Shake Out” on July
26, 2019 (Friday), at 9:00 in the morning. The Davao City Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Office (DCDRRMO) along with the other members of the Davao City Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Council (DCDRRMC) will leading the
exercise.
The scale of and scenarios covered
by the drill increase every year. Now in its third year, the exercise will
include an Impact Scenario to be conducted at San Pedro Hospital. This entails
the evacuation of patients as part of the drill on Friday. A number of coastal
Barangay will also participate in the tsunami drill and conduct evacuations of
their own with the aid of emergency services agencies and offices from the
local and national levels, as well as non-government volunteer groups.
Our
city has often been praised for its safety and security. This Shake Out drill
is yet another example that Davao City is more than worthy of such acclaim. We call
upon the Davaoeños to be proactive and participate in the drill on Friday, July
26, 2019 at 9:00 AM. Together, let us promote and practice a culture of
