PAGADIAN CITY,
Zamboanga del Sur, Oct. 15 (PNA) -– The Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG) has scheduled a two-day training of trainers (ToT) on
Geographic Information System (GIS) for Disaster Preparedness and Response in
this city.
DILG Regional
Director Paisal Abutazil said Wednesday the ToT is aimed to develop additional
technical people to assist the barangays in making their Barangay Hazard Maps.
Abutazil said the ToT
will be held next week from October 21-23 in this city and will be attended by
the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators and Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (DRRM) staffs of 11 towns coming from this province, Zamboanga del Norte
and Zamboanga Sibugay.
DRRM Regional Focal
Person Teresita Catalbas said the 11 towns are the following: Liloy, Salug,
Gutalac and Leon Postigo, Zamboanga del Norte; Dumingag, Tukuran, Kumalarang,
and Vincenzo Sagun, Zamboanga del Sur; and, Payao, Titay, and Siay, Zamboanga
Sibugay.
“The Local Government
Units (LGUs), being at the forefront of disasters, play a very crucial role in
disaster preparedness and management and thus, the prime movers at the local
levels have to be fully capacitated and equipped with the technical know-how in
all aspects of DRRM,” Abutazil said.
Catalbas said the
training on GIS is important for participants to appreciate the use of hazard
maps linked to planning as it is also prerequisite to Local Climate Change
Adaptation Plan (LCCAP) set by December 2014. (PNA)
