Recognizing that disasters can affect not only physical safety but also the mental and emotional well-being of individuals and communities, the DILG Davao Occidental supports initiatives that strengthen the capacity of Local Government Units and disaster response teams to provide timely and appropriate psychosocial support.

As part of this commitment, DILG Davao Occidental participated in the “Strengthening Minds, Saving Lives: Building Psychological First Aid Capacity among DILG XI Regional, Provincial, and Municipal LISTO Teams” held on September 27–29, 2026 at Eden Nature Park and Resort, Toril, Davao City.

The activity highlighted the importance of Psychological First Aid (PFA) in disaster response—providing humane, practical, and immediate support to people who may be experiencing distress following an emergency or crisis.

For DILG Davao Occidental, strengthening PFA capacity is part of building more prepared, compassionate, and responsive disaster response teams. Because in times of crisis, saving lives goes beyond physical rescue—it also means listening, providing support, and helping people cope and recover.

AIR QUALITY & SMOKE FORECAST UPDATE
📅 September 29, 2026 | 7:00 AM
⚠️ PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY | DAVAO REGION
Based on the latest ambient air monitoring data, elevated PM2.5 levels are being recorded in several areas:

MALITA — VERY UNHEALTHY
AQI: 179.53 (PM2.5)
For PM10, air quality remains FAIR in Calinan (68.0), Digos (57.7), and Malita (57.3).
