First Aid Training at Gingoog City

Last December and early January this year, Gingoog City was hit by severe flooding caused by the convergence of cold and warm winds known as shear line. In response to this disaster, the Rotary CDO East Urban Joint Project, a recipient of the RID 3870 District Grant, conducted the third and final Skills Training on First Aid and Disaster Preparedness and Response in Barangay Daan Lungsod of Gingoog City.

Partnering with the Philippine Red Cross, Gingoog Chapter, under the leadership of PP Myrna Motoomull, forty-four volunteers, including barangay and sitio officials and teachers, were trained in basic first aid skills such as wound care, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and how to respond to emergency situations. The training focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to mitigate the effects of disasters and prepare for emergency response situations.

The project was made possible under the Chairmanship of PAG Inday Justina Uy and Director for Environment PAG Myra Villapaz Balandra. Thanks to their leadership and the efforts of all involved, the community of Gingoog City is now better prepared to respond to future disasters and protect themselves and their loved ones.

Through this joint effort between the Rotary CDO East Urban Project and the Philippine National Red Cross, the people of Gingoog City have gained valuable skills and knowledge that will enable them to face any disaster that may come their way in the future. #rotarytrf #rotarydistrictgrant #rotarydistrict3870
