In light of the recent Magnitude 7.8 Offshore Sarangani earthquake that impacted Mindanao, the City Government of Olongapo is ramping up its disaster resilience efforts.
Key department heads and representatives gathered for a vital coordination meeting ahead of tomorrow's 2nd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) CY 2026.
The city-wide drill will take place tomorrow, June 18, 2026 (Thursday) at 9:00 AM, with the Olongapo City Civic Center serving as the pilot evacuation and response area. This simulation aims to strengthen local disaster preparedness, test institutional response times, and ensure that everyone knows exactly what to do when disaster strikes.
Remember the life-saving routine: DUCK, COVER, AND HOLD! ๐ฅ
