The Department of Education – Schools Division of Surigao del Norte has intensified its safety and emergency preparedness measures for the CARAGA Regional Athletic Games 2026 through the strategic posting of emergency hotline information in billeting quarters at Surigao del Norte National High School.

The posted hotline tarpaulins contain essential contact details of key emergency response agencies, including the DRRM Office, medical responders, police, and fire services. These are visibly placed to ensure that athletes, coaches, and officials temporarily housed in the area can quickly access assistance in case of any emergency.

This proactive initiative aims to enhance coordination and response time by making critical information readily available to all occupants of the billeting quarters. It also supports the overall safety framework being implemented throughout the duration of the regional athletic event.

Through this effort, the Schools Division underscores its commitment to providing a safe, organized, and responsive environment. By promoting awareness and accessibility of emergency services, the Division reinforces that preparedness and safety remain a shared responsibility among all participants of the CARAGA Games 2026.
