The University Extension and Development Center in partnership with Disaster Risk Reduction Management Center, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Nursing, and Knights of Columbus Visayas Jurisdiction will conduct a Training on Disaster Preparedness (First Aid Skills) on April 22-23, 2017 at the Research and Extension Building in West Visayas State University. 

Given the susceptibility of the Philippines towards natural disasters and other man-made calamities, the training  will equip participants with disaster preparedness capabilities. Topics such as hazards, risk and vulnerability assessment ; response mechanisms and strategies; information management and community-based disaster preparedness will be covered. WVSU personnel and students as well as volunteer-members of the Knights of Columbus are expected to join the training.
