President of the PDRF, Rene Meily said, "I’d like to commend DHL for its excellent GARD program. They are truly an example of what a private enterprise can do to make the world a better and safer place.”

20 participants from the different units of Laguindingan Airport and attached agencies participated in the three-day workshop where they learned the methodologies of GARD, from finding solutions to bottlenecks in airport logistics during disasters to airport assessment and report writing. The event capped off with a discussion among the Partners and CAAP on ways forward.

“In catastrophic events, airports play a significant role as a logistics hub for critical life-saving supplies, materials and for search and rescue personnel. The Get Airports Ready for Disaster program targets to assess the readiness of airports for such events. UNDP will continue to work with PDRF, CAAP, and DHL so that we may roll out this initiative in other airports around the Philippines,” said UNDP Philippines Resident Representative, Dr. Selva Ramachandran.

“We are happy to have Laguindingan Airport participate in our GARD program after a successful workshop at the Clark International Airport last year. This is the fourth airport in the Philippines that we have conducted the program, and it highlights the importance that the Philippines Government has placed on ensuring its airports are resilient. The support we have received from all stakeholders has been crucial in ensuring the success of these GARD workshops in the country,” said Carl Schelfhaut, Head of the GoHelp Program for Asia Pacific, DHL.

Established in 2009, GARD aims to echo the demand for airport preparedness and response capacity of transportation hubs in the event of disasters. The program, launched in 60 airports in 28 countries, includes training personnel in handling the influx of goods and people during calamities, assisting authorities of the area in relief operations, and assessing the current state of concerned airports.
