Last March 13-15, 2019, a training on "Climate Change and Community-Based Ecosystem and Disaster Risk Management"was conducted at the ABC Hall which was conducted by the personnel coming from the Visayas State University formerly ViSCA. The usual approach on disaster management is through engineering such as the construction of evacuation centers, flood control systems, construction of dikes and wharfs and many others. However, the new introduced approach is the utilization of ecological factors probably the adoption of planting native trees as possible barriers for erosion and winds, the rehabilitation of mangrove forest to suppress the forces of waves. Rehabilitation of forest ecosystem is one of the approach to fight global warming and to revive the natural supply of water.
Project leaders utilized various strategies to effectively impart new knowledge to the participants through room discussions using power point and field trips to different locations such as projects at VSU Villaba campus and a project with adopting farmer. The opening of the training was graced by the MA of Calubian who welcomed different farmer-participants and Hon. Doroteo N. Palconit the Municipal Mayor who gave his inspirational message. Lectures were conducted by no less than the head of the Extension Department of VSU in the person of Prof. Efren B. Saz and Project Director Dr. Marlito Bande.
