MAGHANDA intensifies disaster-related information drive

A Meteorological And Geological Hazard Advisories, Warnings and Notifications for Decisive Action (#MAGHANDA) Online Training for the local information officers and media personalities will be conducted on August 19, 2022.

The goal of the online training is to help the Local Government Units (LGUs) in understanding warning messages to facilitate and create better planning for response actions in Disaster Risk Reduction efforts and also capacitate the Local Information Officers and media in developing news reports and articles for better dissemination of warning messages to the public.

The training will capacitate the local information officers and the media in information dissemination of disaster preparedness and disaster-related news. It will also help in understanding advisories and warning messages on natural hazards such as earthquakes, storm surges, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and others.

The Meteorological and Geological Hazard Advisories, Warnings and Notification for Decisive Action or the "MAGHANDA" information caravan that targets 17 regions was inked last March 16, 2022, which will help boost information drive and provide better disaster risk warnings that will help prepare Filipinos all over the country against natural hazards.
