    Calamities and Disaster Preparedness Seminar

    A Reaction Paper

    Last September 24, 2014 I attended an event in connection with the


    CSSP Security Awareness Week entitled: Calamities and Disaster Preparedness
    Seminar. At first, I thought that it was just the usual seminar by which I attend
    almost every year when I was in high school but in reality it was much more than
    that. Being a boy from a province which by the way would never experience
    calamities as tremendous as those experienced by Luzon provinces, I realized a
    lot of things. From the moment the seminar started; when the speaker presented
    a slide show of pictures from different calamities all over the Philippines, I
    started to grasp the importance of being aware now that I am in a more calamity
    prone area. Before I entered college and when I was still in the province, I always
    thought that I was safe therefore; I never took into heart the things that I have
    learned in the previous seminars that I have attended but this one though served
    as a reality check for me. It also helped to apprehend the idea of how thankful I
    am for not being able to experience firsthand, calamities as extreme as the ones
    being presented. Another thought that came to mind during the seminar was that
    Mother Nature is not the only one to blame for these calamities, but we humans
    as well for without the negative effects of certain human nature interactions,
    natural hazards wouldnt branch out to disasters as severe as the ones happening
    at present.

    The seminar certainly served as an eye opener for me for after the
    event, I did not only become aware of what to do before, during, and after a
    certain calamity but I also became aware of what the Philippines state is today in
    terms of being a calamity prone country.
