CSU NSRC - ERT | JUNE 10, 2026

SKILLS FADE. Preparedness shouldn’t.

On this day, graduates of the Safety First Aid Training (SFAT) stepped forward once again for the SFA Refresher Training held at the New Administration Building Conference Hall. This initiative served as an opportunity to revisit, strengthen, and sharpen the life-saving skills that every responder must continuously uphold.

The success of this activity was made possible through the dedication and support of the CSU Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO), in coordination with the CSUCC Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) and the CSUCC NSRC Emergency Response Team, whose commitment to service and community safety continues to inspire and empower future responders.

Being trained is not enough. Skills must be practiced, refreshed, and reinforced. Every lesson reviewed and every technique refined brings us one step closer to being ready when help is needed most.

To everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this refresher training, thank you for choosing to stay prepared and capable of making a difference when it matters most.

CSU NSRC - ERT | TREE PLANTING 🌱 (JUNE 4 - 5, 2026)

In celebration of World Environmental Day, Class Manawari of 2026, together with the Pollution Control Unit and the Graduating Student Council, conducted a two-day tree-planting activity in Barangay Basag, Butuan City.

Members and volunteers of the CSU NSRC Emergency Response Team were present throughout the activity to provide assistance, ensure the safety of participants, and support the successful implementation of the environmental initiative.

As each seedling was planted, so too was a commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable development. Through efforts like these, we take meaningful steps toward building a greener and more resilient community.

LIFE DOES NOT PAUSE. And neither do we.

On May 25–26, 2026, twenty-two responders from the CSU – NSRC Emergency Response Team stepped up for the Basic Life Support (BLS) Refresher Training. This crucial capability-building initiative was successfully organized through the leadership of Prof. Urlie G. Anino, DiSDS, DRRM Director, who spearheaded the activity to ensure the university’s continuous readiness.

Our deepest gratitude also goes to the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (CDRRMD) ALIMAT for their invaluable support and expertise in guiding our responders throughout the training.

Our team didn't show up just to check a box; they answered the call because they understand what it truly means to stand as the first line of defense between life and loss.

Two days of intense training. Twenty-two lives sharpened.

To the responders who showed up, pushed through, and walked away sharper than before: the community is safer because you chose to prepare. That is no small thing.

Trained. Trusted. Ready.
