The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) of Dapa, Surigao del Norte successfully conducted the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) at Union National High School and Union Elementary School as part of our continuous efforts to strengthen disaster preparedness in the community.

The activity was carried out in coordination with the Philippine National Police (PNP) – Dapa and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) – Dapa, who assisted in guiding students, teachers, and school personnel in practicing the proper earthquake safety procedure — Drop, Cover, and Hold — and in understanding the importance of staying calm and alert during emergencies.

We would like to thank the administration, faculty, and students of Union National High School and Union Elementary School for their cooperation and active participation. We also extend our appreciation to PNP Dapa and BFP Dapa for their continued support in promoting disaster awareness and preparedness.

Uman inin Shearline???

👇👇👇

WHAT IS SHEAR LINE? 🌧️

Following Tropical Storm Basyang, the prevailing weather system over Central Visayas is now a shear line, PAGASA reported.

A shear line occurs when the cool, dry northeast monsoon (amihan) meets the warm, moist air from the Pacific, resulting in cloudy skies, scattered to continuous rains, and occasional thunderstorms.

Residents, especially those in flood-prone and mountainous areas, are urged to stay vigilant for possible flash floods and landslides and to keep monitoring official weather advisories.
