Tagudin MDRRMO leads the 2nd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill

The Tagudin Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, under the pro-active leadership of Mayor Roque S. Verzosa, Jr., through the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office headed by LDRRM Officer Engr. Michael B. Padayao, successfully conducted the 2nd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) today at San Pedro Community School, Barangay Dardarat, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur.

This activity aimed to strengthen local disaster preparedness and enhance the community’s capacity to respond effectively to earthquake scenarios. The drill was participated in by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Barangay Tanods of Brgy. Dardarat, and the faculty, staff, and learners of San Pedro Community School.

A key component of this drill was raising awareness among learners, who are among the most vulnerable during disasters. Through hands-on participation in the “Duck, Cover, and Hold” procedure and guided evacuation drills, students gained essential knowledge and experience in how to respond calmly and safely in the event of an earthquake.

These preparedness activities are vital in building a culture of safety and resilience among the youth. By equipping learners with practical skills and awareness, we help ensure that they are not only prepared to protect themselves, but are also capable of contributing to community safety during emergencies.

The Local Government Unit of Tagudin, through the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, remains steadfast in its commitment to strengthening disaster risk reduction initiatives and ensuring that all sectors of the community—especially the youth—are informed, prepared, and resilient.

Ipinaaalam ng Tagudin MDRRMO sa publiko na ang nararanasang pag-ulan sa Bayan ng Tagudin at sa iba pang bahagi ng Ilocos Sur ay dulot ng dalawang sistemang pang-panahon na kasalukuyang nakaapekto sa rehiyon:

1. Southwesterly Windflow (Habagat)
Ito ay hanging nagmumula sa timog-kanluran na nagdadala ng mainit at basang hangin. Karaniwan ito tuwing panahon ng tag-ulan (Mayo hanggang Oktubre) at nagdudulot ng maulap na kalangitan, kalat-kalat na pag-ulan, at pagkulog-pagkidlat, lalo na sa kanlurang bahagi ng Luzon.

2. Frontal System
Ito ay nabubuo kapag nagtagpo ang mainit at malamig na hangin, na nagreresulta sa pagbuo ng ulap at tuluy-tuloy na pag-ulan. Karaniwan itong nakaapekto sa Hilagang Luzon at maaaring magdulot ng katamtaman hanggang malakas na pag-ulan, lalo na kung may kasamang Habagat.

Ano ang Maaaring Maranasan:
Dahil sa mga sistemang ito, asahan ang:

Patuloy o malakas na pag-ulan

Lokal na pagbaha sa mabababang lugar

Pagguho ng lupa sa mga bulubunduking bahagi

Pagtaas ng tubig sa mga ilog at sapa

Mga Paalala:
Maging alerto at subaybayan ang opisyal na ulat mula sa PAGASA at Tagudin MDRRMO.

Iwasan ang mga lugar na madaling bahain o gumuho.

Ihanda ang inyong emergency kit at siguraduhing may plano para sa paglikas kung kinakailangan.

Makipagtulungan sa inyong mga opisyal ng barangay at bayan sa oras ng sakuna.

Manatiling handa at ligtas. Ang inyong kaligtasan ay aming pangunahing layunin.
