What we know cannot be consider as wisdom if we did not share it to others. This is the reason why a senior high school student like me, Janecee M. Gavan, made this blog entitled “disas-SHARE”. I want to share what I’ve learned in the subject Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction(DRRR) which was taught by my teacher, Mr. Eduardo Galapon III. I may not be as good as other bloggers, but all I can assure is to help each one of my reader to be aware, prepare, and alert once there is a certain accident/calamity happened. With some of the information that I will share, we will be able to live in a safer place and we can protect ourselves in a basic way. We can even save others just by informing them what we have learned letting our home, community, school, and other places safer and happy.
