To standardize the approach to managing emergency situations and strengthen the understanding of the Incident Command System (ICS), the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), through the collective efforts of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) and Gender and Development Office (GAD), and in collaboration with the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD), spearheaded the first Gender-Sensitive Executive Course on ICS for the Administrative Council (AdCo) members, representatives, and other officials at the AgriTourism Hostel Function Hall, 16 June.

The training, consisting of five modules, was facilitated by the OCD-designated training officials led by Mr. Angelo L. Simbol, Administrative Officer IV from the University of the Philippines (UP) Manila - Senior High School (SHS) Tarlac Campus; Mr. Gabriel Paulo Gorospe, Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) IV - Local Government Unit (LGU) Camiling; Engr. Eurico Yuzon from the Bataan Engineering Office; and Senior Fire Officer (SFO) I Fritz Perez from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Bacolor, Pampanga.ย 

The speaker-trainers engaged with the participants in collaborative discussions on ICS Organizational and Staffing, ICS Facilities, Managing Planned Events and Major Incidents, and Common Responsibilities.ย 

During the executive course, Prof. Cecile L. Lapitan, Director of Sociocultural Development Office (SDO), expressed her gratitude for being part of the ICS training and commended the facilitators for continuously organizing impactful activities that greatly contribute to the progress and excellence of the University.ย 

โ€œThe training has equipped me with strong practical skills for event organization, especially when Sociocultural and Development Office (SDO) lead events like Festival of Talents and others. I am very grateful that NSTP and GAD facilitated this training because it inspired us to foster a stronger sense of teamwork and accountability during University activities,โ€ Prof. Lapitan shared.ย
