In an era where natural disasters such as flooding can strike unexpectedly, preparedness becomes not just an option but a necessity. Riverstone Aggregates and La Prima Aggregates took a significant step towards ensuring the safety of their personnel and the communities they serve by hosting a comprehensive Water Safety and Flood Preparedness Seminar.
The event, held in Casaratan, San Nicolas, and Barangobong, Tayug, was led by Survivalist Philippines, with expert guidance from Noel Cabobos, a known survivalism advocate and rescue trainer. The training was initiated under the leadership of Teona E. Noto, the Operations Manager and Community Relations Officer for both companies.
A Focus on Proactive Safety
The seminar aimed to equip personnel with critical safety protocols and the skills necessary to effectively respond to potential flooding and emergencies. This included life-saving techniques, practical water safety measures, and proper flood response strategies.
“We believe in being proactive when it comes to safety,” said Ms. Noto. “By equipping our employees with the skills and knowledge they need, we can better protect them and the communities we serve.”
Why Water Safety and Flood Preparedness Matter
Flooding remains one of the most common natural disasters in the Philippines, especially during the rainy season. This makes initiatives like this training crucial, not only for employee safety but also for enhancing community resilience. Through seminars like these, companies like Riverstone Aggregates and La Prima Aggregates are investing in the long-term well-being of their personnel, preparing them to handle emergencies and potentially save lives.
A Community-Centered Approach
The proactive stance taken by these companies reflects their broader commitment to the communities they operate in. By focusing on emergency preparedness, Riverstone and La Prima Aggregates set an example of corporate responsibility and social awareness, fostering stronger, safer, and more resilient communities.
Looking Ahead
With this seminar, Riverstone Aggregates and La Prima Aggregates have set a benchmark for safety training, encouraging other companies to prioritize preparedness in the face of natural calamities. The initiative serves as a reminder that preparedness is key in safeguarding lives and ensuring that both employees and communities are equipped to face any emergencies head-on.
