After months of planning and procurement, the University of the Philippines Visayas Crisis Management Committee, with the support of the UPV administration through the allocation of funds for the initiative, has procured emergency Go Bags for the university’s offices and units. This initiative is part of the university’s continuing commitment to strengthening emergency preparedness, promoting safety, and enhancing readiness in times of crisis.
The Go Bags are equipped with basic emergency response and preparedness supplies, including first-aid materials, flashlight, glow sticks, whistle, thermal blanket, and other essential items. These supplies are intended to help offices and units address immediate needs during emergencies.
Present during the distribution of the Go Bags were Vice Chancellor for Administration Dr. Farisal Bagsit, Program Development Assistant (PDA) for Crisis Management Prof. Aljohn Torreta, and representatives from various offices and units.
