Last February 6, 2016, the Health Services Department, headed by Dr. Dewitt Lim and the NSTP Office, under the supervision of Mrs. Marijane V. Anacito, conducted a joint seminar entitled “Are you Ready for the Big One?” with invited resource speakers from IDRN (International Disaster Response Network), namely Mr. Elmer Gelbolingo and Eng. Alfred Go. It was held in rooms 701- 703 of CKS College-Narra Campus from 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm.

The Seminar was about the most feared event called The Bi g One, a very strong earthquake that may happen to the Philippines and may cause big destruction on lives and properties.  Earthquake protocol like the drop, cover, and hold and ways in order not to be stuck inside a room were discussed. Proper techniques of carrying victims out of a disaster area were also taught and demonstrated.  It was an afternoon full if information and guidelines for students and staff to be fully aware and prepared when an earthquake or disaster happens and for them to be fully equipped to rescue victims and serve their families, friends, and neighbors when an earthquake strikes.
