The MSSD Basilan Coordinating Office led the distribution, providing 240 duffle bags to community responders and 20 backpacks to rescuers.
According to Khadafi Ladjagais, the Information Management Assistant for MSSD Basilan, the initiative aims to equip responders with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively manage emergencies. This includes knowing how to administer basic first aid and life support during a disaster.
The distribution was a collaborative effort, with the MSSD Basilan Coordinating Office working alongside the local government of Lamitan City and the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO). The event took place just a day before the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) temporary ban took effect on August 28.
MSSD officials have affirmed their commitment to providing continued support to communities once the ban is lifted, ensuring that preparedness efforts remain a priority.
