The Province of Northern Samar was recognized for its excellence in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management during the culminating activity of the National Disaster Resilience Month with the theme: "Tamang Pamamahala't Kahandaan, Kaalaman at Pagtutulungan sa Sakuna at Pandemya'y Kalasag ng Bayan" held virtually last August 9, 2021.
Upon assessment and validation by the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, the province was found to be Beyond Compliant. This means that the Provincial DRRM office of Northern Samar and its council has exceeded the standards for the establishment and functionality of the Local DRRM council and Local DRRM office as prescribed under Sections 11 and 12 of Republic Act 10121.
Meanwhile, the municipalities of Catarman and San Roque, Northern Samar were also recognized as Fully Compliant LGUs during the said event. The two municipalities received the award for generally adhering to the standard for the establishment and functionality of the Local DRRM council and Local DRRM office.
The province of Northern Samar was among the 3 recipients of the said award in Eastern Visayas - with the Province of Southern Leyte and the City of Ormoc.
The excellence award serves as a fruit and a proof of the Provincial Government's resiliency efforts towards realization of the vision of Governor Edwin Ongchuan for a "Marig-on, Mainuswagon, ngan Malipayon nga Nortehanon".
