Mr. Felipe T. Mangila Jr., Dipolog City CDRRMC Officer-in-Charge said the drill was in compliance with the directive from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), urging all DRRMCs throughout the country to conduct the First Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill on March 18, 2013.

During the post-evaluation conference, evaluators noted the lack of seriousness among the participants during the conduct of the drill.

Dipolog City Councilor Cyril Ruiz, CDRRMC adviser, cited the importance of the earthquake drill in strengthening the capability of the people to respond during emergency situation.

DCNNHS Principal Joselito Tizon, on the other hand, vowed to equip his school with the gadgets needed in times of calamity to minimize the impact of any disaster particularly the loss of human lives.

Aside from the CDRRMC, other members of the evaluation team include the representatives of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Education (DepED) and Philippine Information Agency (PIA).
