In a remarkable display of leadership, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) showcased its commitment to safety by participating in the 1st Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill 2025. The theme, "Tandaan, Ligatas ang Bayan Kung Handa ang Mamamayan! BAWAT SEGUNDO MAHALAGA!" resonates deeply, emphasizing preparedness as a cornerstone of community resilience. Under the guidance of female employees, participants were empowered to navigate simulated emergencies effectively.

This activity is more than just a simulation; it represents an inclusive and proactive approach to disaster education. Studies show that disaster education dramatically lowers vulnerability in communities. This initiative's female leadership highlights how crucial a variety of viewpoints are to emergency preparedness. They play a crucial part in creating an atmosphere where everyone can comprehend and carry out emergency response plans with assurance and clarity.

As the MGB embraces this forward-thinking approach, it sets a precedent for future drills and inspires other organizations to prioritize effective disaster training led by women. This commitment can reshape our understanding of safety culture within communities while ensuring that every second counts when crises arise.
