Meeting with Mayor of Carcar City [Philippines]
On August 3, 2017 SEEDS Asia conducted a coordination meeting with the City Government of Carcar together with its Mayor, Hon. Nicepuro Apura, and the officer-in-charge of the local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO), Mr. Kim Lauron, to introduce the School DRRM Project and gather support for its effective implementation. Mayor Apura expressed his interest and proudly said that their newly built City Hall is now earthquake and flood resistant. He said that he would like several of the City Government DRRM personnel to join the capacity building training initiated by SEEEDS Asia in order to fully equip their City on mitigating the disaster risks. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony will be conducted soon together with the Mayor and SEEDS Asia as soon as the Council Resolution authorizing the local chief executive to sign is released.
