⛑️💪 Lifesavers in action!

On June 10, 11 & 13, the Severo Duterte Memorial Integrated School Covered Court became the venue for a successful 3-day Capacity Building on Basic Life Support (BLS Training). Participants were actively engaged in hands-on learning, gaining vital knowledge and practical skills in basic emergency response.

The training covered a wide range of life-saving topics, including proper bandaging techniques for wounds, managing and controlling bleeding, performing rescue breathing and CPR, and providing first aid for fractures and choking. Participants also learned how to accurately take manual blood pressure, an essential skill for monitoring a patient’s condition in emergencies.

A huge congratulations to everyone who completed the training — your dedication to learning these life-saving skills is a big step toward a safer and more prepared community! 🚑❤️

🛑 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒.𝐘. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓-𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 🛑

Earlier today, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟗, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, our school carried out its first earthquake drill of the school year—a step forward in strengthening our preparedness and commitment to safety. The drill was organized to help everyone become more aware of what to do during an earthquake and to ensure that both students and staff know how to respond quickly and safely in real situations.

This important activity was made possible through the joint efforts of our 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐃𝐑𝐑𝐌) 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦, with the active support of our teachers and students. With everyone working together and treating the drill with seriousness and care, we’re taking real steps toward making our school a safer and more prepared place for everyone.

As classes resume, it’s important that we all stay mindful of the weather—especially with rising temperatures and the increasing risk of heat-related illnesses. it is important to equip ourselves with essential items that promote health, comfort, and disaster readiness, even on the first day.

Because of the rising temperatures, it’s a good idea to bring a few items that can help you get through the day more comfortably:

🌀 A 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙖𝙣 to help cool down when it gets too warm
💧 A 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 you can refill to avoid dehydration
🧢 A 𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙘𝙖𝙥, 𝙤𝙧 𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙖 for shade while walking outdoors
🧼 A 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙡 or an 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙩 in case you get sweaty

It doesn’t take much to be prepared—just a bit of planning. By bringing these simple things, we can all help make the school environment safer and more comfortable for everyone as we start the year.

Preparedness saves lives!
On November 15, our school gladly took part in the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill, displaying our commitment to safety and preparedness. The practice was a success due to the diligent work of our SDRRM Coordinator, 𝑴𝒂'𝒂𝒎 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚𝒍𝒆𝒆, and Alternate SDRRM Coordinator, 𝑺𝒊𝒓 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒂, as well as the tireless efforts of the 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒌 𝑹𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎.

We also acknowledge the unwavering support of our school administration, 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒊𝒓 𝑻𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕, and 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒊𝒓 𝑨𝒓𝒒𝒖𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒚𝒂, whose guidance ensures the safety and well-being of the entire school community.

Every step, from using the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" technique to the swift evacuation to designated safe zones, served as a reminder that being prepared is essential in times of disaster. Together, we are working to foster a culture of resilience and safety throughout our school community.

𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝑺𝒂𝒇𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅! 🌧️⛑️

Stay safe as we face the oncoming 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 (𝐁𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞)! 🌧️ As of the latest update, Kristine is moving northwest at 17 kph, with winds of up to 85 kph. Northern Luzon is expected to experience heavy rains, strong winds, and possible flash floods, landslides, and storm surges. Areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are under varying wind signal warnings. Please 𝒃𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅, 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 to ensure safety during this weather event. 🌪️

It’s important for everyone to stay vigilant and ready. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦:

Start by 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 📲—regularly check updates from PAGASA and other reliable sources to keep track of weather conditions. Knowing what's coming is the first step in safety. The next step would be to 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙠𝙞𝙩 ⛑️. Something as simple as a bottle of water, some food, or a first aid kit could make a big difference, especially when it comes to staying indoors or evacuating.

𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 🏠 is also crucial—reinforce windows and doors, and bring outdoor items inside that might become projectiles or cause damage due to strong winds. It’s equally crucial to 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 📋. Locate the nearest evacuation center and work out your safest route so you're not caught off guard.

If everything becomes worse, then the best decision would be just to 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙨🚪 and to step out only when it is absolutely necessary. Lastly, 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 🚫🌊—flooded roads can be deeper and more dangerous than they appear.

These little moves will create a great impact on your safety and the safety of people around you. We work together toward building a prepared and resilient community! 💪🏻
