âś…Carles Fire Station, headed by SFO2 Jim B. De Guzman, Acting Municipal Fire Marshal, for conducting earthquake drills with orientation and simulation for learners, teachers, and parents

âś…Carles LGU, under the leadership of Hon. Mayor Arnold Tan Betita II , a true champion of disaster risk reduction himself whose proactive and swift actions during emergencies continue to strengthen DRRM at the school level
This award reassures us that Guinticgan ES is on the right path—faithfully and consistently implementing disaster preparedness and risk reduction practices.
