Press Release:
Preparedness Is Key with R.O.X.
R.O.X. holds disaster preparedness talk in its Fort branch
In
light of the recent torrential rains which heavily hit Metro Manila and nearby
provinces, Recreational Outdoor Exchange (R.O.X.), Asia’s largest outdoor
superstore, held a Disaster Preparedness Talk last August 30, 2012 at its
flagship store in Bonifacio High Street. R.O.X. brought onboard Coach Manny
Batungbacal, MHW – CORE Search and Rescue leader, and Louie Domingo, Emergency
First Response Instructor Trainer, as resource persons.
Aside
from preparing for typhoons and floods, the lecture also included scenarios for
other commonly occurring natural and man-made disasters namely earthquake and
fires.
There
may seem like a lot of things to remember when faced with any of these
situations, but what the lecturers couldn’t emphasize enough on is how
preparedness is key to anything. Everyone must always pay attention to the
first official warning given by the local government and different government
agencies.
With that, R.O.X. has launched its own Survival Kit, which has long been advocating the idea of personal survival. Included in this kit are: Coghlans emergency blanket, Coghlans whistle, Princeton Tec headlamp , Coghlans water purifier, Coghlans first aid kit, Coghlans candles, Coghlans spoon, fork and knife set, Stinger energy gels, multipurpose tool, Nalgene water bottle, lighter, duct tape, and a water proof bag.
The
R.O.X. Survival Talk also discussed basic family survival. Coach Manny and
Louie also reminded everyone to always make sure that there are no hazards
inside and near your home. There may not be a foolproof way to avoid these
dangers, but it’s best to ensure it could not get worse by things you can
address beforehand. In being prepared, you’re keeping your home and yourself
safe.
