Learning today. Preparing for tomorrow.
JCI Surigao North attended and took part in the “Preparing for the Big Ones: Understanding Earthquake and Earthquake Hazards in Surigao del Norte” Forum last March 24, 2026 at the Philippine Gateway Hotel, Surigao City, represented by 2026 LO Executive Vice President Iris Jane Canoy, alongside members Vergel Aranas and Paul Khalil Dumas.
Through the collaboration of the World Food Programme Philippines and PDRRMO–Surigao del Norte, this initiative convenes stakeholders to advance earthquake preparedness using scientific knowledge and strategic community awareness efforts. The forum created a space for meaningful conversations on earthquake awareness and readiness, bringing together various sectors committed to strengthening community resilience. Through the expertise shared by PHIVOLCS-DOST Geologist Mr. Jeffrey S. Perez, participants gained a deeper understanding of earthquake risks and the simple yet critical steps that can help save lives.
More than just participation, this experience reinforces JCI Surigao North’s role in staying informed and engaged—continuing to support initiatives that promote safety, preparedness, and a culture of shared responsibility within our communities.
