TRAINING OF TRAINERS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CBEWS FOR TSUNAMI OF NORTHERN SAMAR
A
set of training of trainers of the establishment of community-based early
warning system was held from May 5 to 8 in Northern Samar. The activity is
under the National Disaster Coordinating Councils project entitled “Hazard
Mapping of Effective Community-Based Disaster Risk Management” (READY) Project.
This training aims to train trainers, mostly municipal planning officers and
municipal disaster action officers on how to develop tsunami-resilient
communities through the establishment of community-based early warning systems.
The trainers were taught how to prepare tsunami evacuation plans from tsunami
hazard maps culminating is the conduct of actual tsunami drills. Two sites were
selected as pilot sites of the conduct of the tsunami drills: Barangay
Barobaybay, Lavezares and Barangay Cabatuan, Palapag.

The coordinators of the project -Asian
Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)-
requested to meet Philippine government agencies who are involved in disaster
risk management to assess the capability and needs of each agency which is
essential for the design of a remote sensing training for disaster management,
mapping and space agencies. This two-year project will be implemented in close
