Together, We Built a More Disaster-Resilient Quezon!
Throughout the observance of National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRM) 2026, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) successfully conducted a series of meaningful activities that promoted preparedness, strengthened partnerships, and inspired community participation.
We kicked off the celebration with the Fun Run for Resilience, encouraging physical fitness as an essential part of disaster preparedness. This was followed by the Disaster Resilience Caravan, featuring a motorcade, static display of emergency response equipment, and public viewing of DRRM educational videos to raise public awareness on disaster risk reduction.
To further enhance our readiness, we conducted the Municipal Evacuation Drill, where responders, partner agencies, and community members worked together in a simulated emergency scenario, reinforcing coordination and response capabilities. Complementing the drill was the Psychological First Aid Discussion, which emphasized the importance of caring not only for people's physical safety but also for their mental and emotional well-being during disasters.
As the culminating activity, the Municipality proudly joined the Province-Wide Simultaneous Clean-Up Drive, where the collective efforts of our volunteers, partner agencies, and barangays resulted in the successful collection of 462.2 kilograms of waste, contributing to a cleaner environment and a safer, more resilient community.
These accomplishments would not have been possible without the unwavering support and cooperation of our partner agencies and stakeholders. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), Municipal Health Office (MHO), Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), Municipal Engineering Office (MEO), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), PNP Maritime, Sagip Palawan–Quezon Chapter, participating fraternities, Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (BDRRMCs), volunteers, civic organizations, and every individual who generously shared their time, effort, and commitment.
Most importantly, we express our sincere appreciation to our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Lily G. Torrico, for her steadfast leadership and continued support of disaster risk reduction and management initiatives, and to our Municipal Vice Mayor and the Sangguniang Bayan, whose encouragement and commitment to public service greatly contributed to the success of this month's activities.
Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat. Together, we continue to build a Municipality of Quezon that is prepared, united, and resilient—because disaster resilience is a shared responsibility.
"Naghahanda at Kumikilos Tungo sa Panatag na Bagong Pilipinas."
