On the second day of the summit, Engr. Chris Perez, Assistant Weather Services Chief at DOST-PAGASA, delivered a presentation on “Communicating DOST-PAGASA’s Forecast Products and Services.” He emphasized that disaster preparedness is everyone’s responsibility, and that when communities work together, they can protect lives, minimize damage, and build resilience.
Meanwhile, Ms. Charmaine V. Villamil of DOST-PHIVOLCS discussed “Communicating Geologic Information and Tools for Disaster Resilience.” She highlighted that, beyond earthquake drills and preparedness measures, ensuring the structural integrity of buildings must also remain a top priority.
