DSWD orients ushers, escorts of DRMD guidelines
BUTUAN
CITY, May 25 - The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field
Office Caraga through its Disaster Response and Management Division (DRMD) has
conducted the one-day Orientation for the Identified Ushers and Escorts of DRMD
on the Decorum and Guidelines for the Facilitation of Delivery of the
Humanitarian Cargoes to local government units held at Grand Palace Hotel, this
city.
On top
of the agency’s objective on ensuring the availability, accessibility, and
readiness of resources, as well as administrative support necessary before and
during disaster operations, the orientation also underscored the importance of
focusing the facilitation of technical assistance to the staff who are
identified to usher and escort the food and in-kind items being requested by
the LGUs.
One of
the resource speakers, Mr. Angel Bert Casimilio, SWO-II, highlighted that their
task does not only start and end on simply accompanying the humanitarian
cargoes but it also entails a lot of responsibilities such as ensuring the
safety and the completeness of cargoes throughout the travel and until its
delivery.
“We
have to take all the necessary procedures/processes to make sure that all is
handled well and these cargoes are properly stored and/or delivered,” cited
Casimillio.
To encapsulate its cause, the event will highlight the worker's Integrity and Work Ethics; including the undertaking of their commitment. (DSWD-Caraga/JPG/PIA-Caraga)
