Bacolod City, Philippines β The Iloilo Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO-Iloilo) participated in a Tabletop Exercise organized by the Office of Civil Defense Region 6 (OCD 6) to enhance preparedness for a potential eruption of Mt. Kanlaon.
The exercise brought together local government units, national agencies, and the armed forces to evaluate the effectiveness of various communication tools, including radios, social media, and satellite phones during a simulated volcanic crisis.
As part of the scenario, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) issued an alert within 10 minutes, prompting agencies to activate Incident Management Teams and prepare for evacuations.
The exercise underscored the need for regular drills and functional exercises to address gaps in resource management and ensure comprehensive disaster preparedness.
