On November 18, 2023, I attended the Simulation Training on Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management for CWTS (Civil Welfare Training Service) and LTS (Leadership Training
Service) students on Basic Life Support, Standard First Aid, and Basic Bandaging Procedures
during Fire and Earthquake Emergencies. The line outside before entering the Gymnasium was
too long. The program indicated that the training would commence at 8:00 AM, but it didn't start
until past 9:00 AM. The trainers were personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and
their uniforms were very bright, causing almost all of us to look at them.
When the program began, they first taught us about the human body and the common
pulses. Next was the step-by-step emergency rescue and transfer. Then, they taught us various
types of bandaging depending on the patient's injury, such as standard bandaging for forehead
injury, head injury, neck injury, forearm injury, shoe on and shoe off, burned hand, burned face,
fracture, dislocation, and many others. We learned a lot, especially because the BFP personnel
training us were very entertaining. They always cracked jokes, making us trainees very attentive.
The trainer almost didn't want us to eat because he was so eager for us to learn. It was almost
noon, and we still hadn't had lunch until the LTS instructor insisted to let us take our lunch and
we were told to come back by 1:00 PM, but it seemed like only about 50% returned; the rest had
gone home.
In the afternoon session, the BFP personnel taught us more about standard bandaging,
and each department performed what they had been taught in front. Almost everyone learned
because each department performed well in front. After that, we conducted an Earthquake drill
before heading home. After the drill, we were all sent home.

After the training, I realized how crucial it is for students to have knowledge about basic
life support, standard first aid, and basic bandaging procedures during fire and earthquake
emergencies, especially us NSTP (National Service Training Program) students, so that we know
what to do in case of an emergency to respond and help, especially our loved ones. Moreover,
my approach to apply the training about Disaster Risk Reduction and Management involves
identifying hazards both at home and in the community, such as fire risks, structural weaknesses,
and vulnerable areas during natural disasters. To mitigate these risks, I'll take actions like
installing smoke detectors, securing heavy furniture, and reinforcing structures at home.
Additionally, I'll create emergency kits for my household and encourage others to do the same,
including essential items such as water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, flashlights,
batteries, whistles, and important documents. Moreover, I aim to share the knowledge gained
from my training by educating the community about disaster risks, basic first aid, evacuation
