The PUP Community, through the active participation of all its campuses nationwide, conducted the 2026 2nd Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED), reaffirming the University's commitment to disaster preparedness, resilience, and the safety of its academic community.
The university-wide activity was coordinated through the collaborative efforts of the PUP Red Cross Youth Council, the Disaster Resilience Institute, and the Medical Services Department, with students, faculty members, administrative personnel, and other stakeholders from all PUP campuses participating in the simultaneous drill.
The drill emphasized proper safety procedures during earthquake scenarios, allowing everyone to practice essential response measures such as evacuation protocols, coordination systems, and rapid decision-making under emergency conditions. The activity served as a practical reinforcement of campus-wide disaster readiness and safety awareness.
Beyond compliance and participation, the initiative reflects the university’s continuing alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), which collectively promote safer, more resilient, and better-prepared communities in the face of disasters and climate-related risks.
Looking forward, the university aims to further strengthen its disaster risk reduction programs through enhanced training, expanded inter-agency coordination, and continuous community education. These efforts underscore a long-term commitment to building a culture of preparedness and resilience across the PUP community.
