🚨 3RD QUARTER SIMULTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE DRILL | SOUTHERN CAPITAL COLLEGES 🚨

On September 11, 2026, at 4:00PM, the Southern Capital Colleges (SCC) community participated in the 3rd Quarter Simultaneous Earthquake Drill, an activity that reminds us of the importance of being prepared and knowing how to respond during emergencies.

The activity began with an orientation led by the Dean of Student Affairs and Services, who discussed the essential Dos and Don’ts During an Earthquake. The orientation provided students and personnel with practical reminders on staying calm, protecting themselves, and following proper safety procedures during an earthquake.

Following the orientation, the earthquake simulation was carried out. Students, faculty, and staff participated in the Duck, Cover, and Hold procedure before proceeding to their designated evacuation and assembly areas.

The SCC College Red Cross Youth Council actively participated in the simulation, assisting in the response activities and putting into practice the knowledge and skills they have gained from their trainings and experiences. Their participation also served as an opportunity to learn, improve coordination, and understand their responsibilities during an emergency. ⛑️❤️

We sincerely thank everyone who participated and cooperated in the activity. We are grateful to the SCC administration, Dean of Student Affairs and Services, faculty and staff, students, and the SCC College Red Cross Youth Council for their time and cooperation in making the earthquake drill possible.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Philippine Red Cross for its continued assistance, guidance, and support in strengthening the preparedness and capabilities of the SCC College Red Cross Youth Council. Your support provides our student volunteers with valuable opportunities to learn, serve, and be better prepared to help others when needed. ❤️⛑️

The earthquake drill was not about performing perfectly, but about learning, practicing, and identifying how we can respond better together.

May this simple exercise remind us that preparedness is a shared responsibility. Every lesson learned, every procedure practiced, and every helping hand can contribute to a safer school community.

Thank you to everyone who took part. Together, let us continue to learn, prepare, and look after one another. 🤝

🚨 BE INFORMED. BE PREPARED. BE READY TO HELP. ⛑️

✨ EMERGENCY FIRST AID TRAINING: From Learning to Lifesaving 🚑🩹

The Southern Capital Colleges – College Red Cross Youth Council, in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross, successfully conducted the Emergency First Aid Training on August 22–23, 2026, at the Philippine Red Cross Building, Capitol Drive, Oroquieta City.

Aligned with our theme, “Strengthening Confidence Through Basic Life Support,” this two-day activity aimed to equip participants with essential life-saving competencies, including Hands-Only CPR, AED awareness, first aid essentials, emergency response protocols, and safety measures. The program also reinforced the Seven Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality—values that guide every humanitarian action.

A special mention and sincere appreciation are extended to the Philippine Army for their visit and for conducting a short yet meaningful and memorable discussion on safety, national security, and the prevention of youth recruitment into terrorist, extremist, and armed rebel groups. The session also provided participants with important awareness of the risks and consequences of involvement in such groups, while emphasizing the importance of making informed decisions, promoting peace, and becoming responsible and productive members of the community and nation. Their discussion added a valuable dimension to the training by reminding participants that safety and preparedness extend beyond emergency response to include awareness, responsibility, and active participation in promoting peace and security.

Through this successful partnership with the Philippine Red Cross, together with the meaningful participation of the Philippine Army, the event was truly fruitful and impactful. It greatly enhanced the capability of our members to respond effectively during emergencies, fostered readiness and teamwork, deepened awareness of safety and national concerns, and strengthened their commitment to serve others and the nation with competence, compassion, and patriotism.

“Learn the skills. Build the confidence. Be ready to save a life.” 🚑❤️

Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practical exercises, participants were able to translate theoretical knowledge into real-life applications, thereby improving their confidence and competence in emergency response.
Beyond technical skills, the activity sought to strengthen community resilience by fostering a culture of safety, volunteerism, and humanitarian service, particularly through initiatives such as Red Cross 143. Participants were encouraged to become proactive and responsible responders within their respective departments and communities.

Overall, the 2025 Emergency First Aid Training was deemed successful, having met its objectives of empowering participants with life-saving skills, promoting preparedness, and reinforcing the values of service and compassion.
