To achieve resiliency, the Safe and Resilient Universities (SAFER-U) Project and the University of the Philippines Resilience Institute Researchers-Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazard (UPRI-NOAH) conducted an onsite visit at Northwest Samar State University on March 28, 2023.
Among the efforts focused on by the administration is enhancing the Land Use Development and Infrastructure Plan (LUDIP) of the university. The onsite visit included site inspections and discussions with the Technical Working Group (TWG) on reviews, recommendations, hazards, and risk assessment for the integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation Mitigation in the University’s LUDIP.
Members of the TWG received pertinent resource materials, including the guidelines on institutionalizing DRRM in universities. The on-site visit team included SAFER-U co-project leader Dr. Emmanuel M. Luna, Shelley Anne J. Medina, Joevie Dela Cruz, Kayla Milcah Marasigan, and Justine Anne Duka.
