Bilang pagkilala sa patuloy nitong suporta at pakikipagtulungan sa mga programang pampamahalaan para sa disaster resilience, ginawaran ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Ilocos Sur (PGIS) ang Department of Science and Technology (DOST Ilocos Region) ng PANAGYAMAN Award noong ika-30 ng Hulyo, 2026.

Ipinagkaloob ang naturang parangal bilang pagpapahalaga sa mahalagang kontribusyon ng DOST Ilocos Region, sa pamumuno ni Regional Director Teresita A. Tabaog, sa pagsusulong ng mga inisyatibong nakabatay sa agham at teknolohiya (science-based and technology-driven). Layunin nitong palakasin ang kahandaan at katatagan ng mga komunidad sa lalawigan laban sa iba’t ibang banta ng panganib at sakuna.

Naging katuwang ng lalawigan ang DOST Ilocos Region sa pagpapatupad ng iba't ibang kapaki-pakinabang na proyekto. Kabilang dito ang GeoRiskPH Training noong 2024, kung saan 100 porsyento ng mga lokal na pamahalaan (LGU) sa Ilocos Sur ang nasanay sa paggamit ng mga science-based hazard assessment tool. Sinundan ito ng REDAS Training noong 2025 at ng Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS) Training on Data Collection and Exposure Assessment using Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) noong Hulyo 2026.

Bukas-palad ding nakiisa ang ahensya sa Science-Based Technology Exhibit na nagtampok sa Solido DRRM Knowledge Hub noong 2026 Disaster Resilience Festival, isang mahalagang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng National Disaster Resilience Month sa lalawigan. Bukod dito, naging aktibo rin ang suporta ng DOST sa Tsunami Awareness Day at Tsunami Run sa Lungsod ng Vigan noong 2025 upang higit pang palawakin ang kaalaman ng publiko sa kahandaan sa sakuna.

Ang PANAGYAMAN Award ay sumasalamin sa matibay at patuloy na pagtutulungan ng DOST Ilocos Region at ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Ilocos Sur sa paggamit ng agham at teknolohiya para sa Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM). Higit sa isang parangal, nagsisilbi itong patunay sa kahalagahan ng sama-samang pagkilos tungo sa isang mas ligtas, matatag, at disaster-resilient na Ilocos Sur.

A 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 provides forecasts for the next three hours and applies up to the municipal level. It is more precise as it utilizes Doppler radar technology to track real-time rainfall intensity, making it highly effective for immediate decision-making in flood-prone areas. A 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲, on the other hand, covers a 24-hour period but is issued only at the provincial level. It provides a broader outlook on potential weather disturbances but lacks the short-term accuracy of 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.
