CAUAYAN CITY-The nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill–in an effort to ensure the safety of customers, employees, and surrounding communities–was initiated with the National Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Council as the lead agency at the SM City Cauayan on June 8.
The drill aims to enhance the preparedness and response capabilities of employees, tenants, and customers in the event of a seismic disaster.
With its proactive approach, the mall sets a remarkable example of responsible corporate citizenship and emergency management.
“This is in line with SM Supermalls’ continuous education and awareness drive for its frontliners and partners on natural and man-made calamities,” public relations manager Krystal Gayle Agbulig said.
“Recognizing the importance of being well-prepared for unforeseen emergencies, SM City Cauayan emphasizes the significance of early warning systems, effective evacuation procedures, and post-incident response measures,” she added.
The activity provided an opportunity for employees to familiarize themselves with the appropriate actions to take in case of an earthquake and also educated front liners and tenants about safety protocols, she said.(LNC Team)
