Strengthening Fire Safety Preparedness through Training

The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) through the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) successfully commenced its 2-Day Fire and Safety Hazard Training for personnel assigned to the Residual Containment Area cm Central Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Barangay Pajo, Daanbantayan.

Recognizing the nature of solid waste management operations and the potential fire hazards associated with waste handling and disposal, the training aims to enhance the participants’ knowledge and practical skills in fire prevention, emergency response, and workplace safety.

Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises facilitated by Bfp Vll Daanbantayan, the activity reinforces the Municipality’s commitment to ensuring a safe working environment while promoting the protection of lives, property, and the environment.

Prepared personnel build resilient workplaces, and preparedness remains one of the most effective tools in preventing emergencies before they occur.

📢 ALANG SA KASAYURAN SA TANAN! ♻️

Padayon nga mu dawat ang MENRO sa inyong mga plastic ginunting isip kabahin sa atong programa sa hustong pagdumala sa basura ug pagpakunhod sa plastic waste sa atong komunidad.

✅ MGA IMPORTANTENG PAHINUMDOM:

1. Ang mga plastik kinahanglan ginunting na nga e sulod sa sako.

2. Kinahanglan puro ra nga plastik (walay sagol nga lain nga basura).

3. Ang mga plastik kinahanglan uga ug limpyo.

4. Kinahanglan magdala ug kaugalingong sudlanan sa bugas.

🔄 PAHIMANGNO SA PAG-ILIS:
2 ka kilo nga uga, limpyo, ug puro nga plastik = 1 ka kilo nga bugas (2:1 nga ratio).

🌱 Dili lamang kini makatabang sa pagpakunhod sa plastic pollution, apan usa usab kini ka paagi aron mahimong responsable sa pag-atiman sa atong palibot samtang makabenepisyo ang atong pamilya.

📍 Dad-a ang inyong mga plastic ginunting sa MENRO Office ug apil sa atong kampanya alang sa mas limpyo, mas himsog, ug mas malungtarong Daanbantayan!

As we continue to experience the effects of El Niño, it is vital for all of us to take proactive steps in protecting our environment, health, and community.

💧 Conserve water at all times use it wisely and avoid unnecessary waste.

🌱 Support tree growing and mangrove planting activities because it strengthen our ecosystems and help restore balance in nature.

🔥 Avoid activities that may trigger fire, especially open burning, which poses serious risks to health and the environment.

📢 Did you know?
Open burning is strictly prohibited under Republic Act No. 8749 (Philippine Clean Air Act), which protects our right to clean air and helps reduce air pollution.

It is also prohibited under Republic Act No. 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act), as burning solid waste releases toxic fumes that are harmful to human health and the environment.

In addition, Municipal Ordinance No. 18, Series of 2020, Section 61 (Prohibited Acts), Letter G reinforces this prohibition at the local level, ensuring stricter compliance within our municipality.

Let us all work together in promoting environmental responsibility and safeguarding our future. 🌍💚
