DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FOR PWDS 


Search and Rescue Unit Foundation (Saruf) trains persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Barangay Batis, San Juan. Saruf commits itself to make every able and willing Filipino a rescuer and at least one member of every family a team leader; to enable every Filipino to speak common language of safety and preparedness with functional knowledge of survival and rescue; to make community members recognize and respect protocol to systematize search and rescue efforts. The Manila Times fully supports Saruf's vision as a unifying agent of rescue and humanitarian organizations in the country through one communication line, cross trainings and drills. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
