As part of the 38th National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRM) celebration, the Saint Louis University (SLU) School of Advanced Studies (SAS) and the Graduate School Society (GSS) participated in the NDRM Roadshow and Static Display held on 18 July 2026 at Malcolm Square, Baguio City. The event brought together government agencies, academic institutions and community organizations in promoting disaster preparedness, resilience and public awareness.
Representing SLU, SAS and GSS showcased the University’s commitment to disaster risk reduction and management. The exhibit highlighted the Diploma in Disaster Risk Management (DipDRM) program, a one-year, 18-unit program offered by SAS. Open to graduates of any four-year undergraduate program and delivered through a pure online modality, the DipDRM equips professionals and aspiring practitioners with competencies in disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, climate adaptation and resilience planning.
Through engaging learning activities designed for participants of all ages, the booth also featured enjoyable trivia games while reinforcing essential concepts on disaster preparedness, risk reduction and community resilience. The initiative emphasized that preparedness starts with awareness, encouraging everyone to recognize their shared roles and responsibilities in building safer and more resilient communities.
Through its participation in the NDRM Roadshow and Static Display, SLU reaffirmed its commitment to quality education, community engagement, and public service aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education), 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities), 13 (Climate Action), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). By fostering collaboration with the community, SLU SAS and GSS remain committed to supporting initiatives in building a more informed, prepared, and resilient community, affirming the CICM Advocacy of Integrity of Creation.
