CatSU promotes Disaster Preparedness, Innovative Communication Solutions Through Seminar, Exhibit

The Catanduanes State University (CatSU) College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA), in collaboration with the university's Center for Island and Climate Change Solutions (CICCS), recently held its inaugural Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Seminar and Exhibit on May 12, 2023, at the CatSU Auditorium.

Under the guidance of Engr. Dexter M. Toyado, Director of CICCS and CEA Faculty, the event aimed to equip participants with the necessary skills in disaster and emergency communications systems while enhancing their knowledge of the latest alternative communication technologies.

Renowned experts in the field of disaster and emergency communications systems were invited to share their expertise as resource speakers during the seminar. Among them were representatives from the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA), Rapid Emergency Telecoms Team, Philippine Science High School-BRC, and other esteemed organizations.

In addition to the informative seminar, the exhibit provided an opportunity for CEA students to showcase their technological innovations and projects in communication and disaster preparedness. The exhibit also featured projects from CICCS, DICT Region V-Catanduanes, Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), and various other contributors.

The program aligns with the visionary goals of CatSU President, Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, who aims to establish CatSU as a National University for Disaster Response and Climate Change Adaptation. The university is committed to implementing data-driven and technology-oriented programs and policies to address these critical issues.

The successful Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Seminar and Exhibit signify CatSU's dedication to promoting preparedness, resilience, and innovative solutions in the face of disasters and emergencies.  #RJI
