99bet Phivolcs issues Ilokano earthquake sourcebook for disaster preparedness

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has made disaster preparedness more accessible by launching an Ilokano earthquake sourcebook on Tuesday.

According to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the sourcebook is part of the Disaster Narratives for Experiential Knowledge-based Science Communication (DANAS) Project.

"This series is not just about the two teams playing; it's about reviving the spirit of hockey in Delhi. We hope this will inspire more young players from the region to take up the game," Harmanpreet stated in a press release issued by Hockey India.

Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey expressed his enthusiasm and stated: "This bilateral series against Germany will be a remarkable showcase of world-class hockey. Both India and Germany have a rich history in the sport, and this series will give fans an opportunity to witness an intense competition between two of the most formidable teams in the world.

“The sourcebook, accompanied by video materials, is based on personal narratives and experiences shared by local communities in Northern and Central Luzon who have experienced earthquakes and tsunamis,” the DOST said in a statement.

By using the Ilocano language, the project ensures disaster information is culturally relevant and accessible to communities, it added.
