This said briefing aims to ensure that employees will be able to apply the safety measures during an earthquake.

Right after the NSED, the PDRRMO personnel emphasized that earthquake drills are very important for everyone to practice, and be safe in any eventuality. 

"We must be prepared at all times because we cannot predict when the earthquake will come and always put in our mind that safety first is all that matters," emphasized Mr. Dennis R. Manlicmot of PDRRMO-Agusan del Sur. 

"Fire can happen anytime and anywhere. That’s why we are conducting this Earthquake and Fire Drills to ensure that everyone will be safe at all times, and knowing how to handle fire incidents. Always remember that prevention is better than cure," FO2 Alfie D. Oca of BFP Agusan del Sur bared.
