SLSU revisits all-hazard plan for uninterrupted services amidst disruptions

Southern Luzon State University (SLSU), through the University Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (UDRRMO), held a workshop aimed at enhancing the university's all-hazard plan to ensure the continuity of essential services despite potential disruptions.

On September 27, members of the Administrative Council, their representatives, and the Public Service Continuity Plan (PSCP) Committee convened at the College of Engineering’s Audiovisual Room to contribute vital inputs from their respective offices. The goal was to refine the plan to ensure SLSU’s operations and services, across all campuses, can swiftly resume and remain functional during calamities and unforeseen events.

The workshop opened with inspiring messages from SLSU President Dr. Frederick T. Villa and OIC Vice President for Administrative and Financial Affairs Dr. Arvin N. Natividad. Both emphasized the importance of proactive participation in formulating comprehensive strategies that will preserve, mitigate, and respond to service disruptions, ensuring the university remains resilient in the face of challenges.

UDRRMO Director, Mrs. Vanessa Cadeliña, underscored the importance of incorporating updated data and recommendations into the PSCP. She guided participants on how to analyze the impact of potential disruptions, with a particular focus on identifying the Mission Essential Functions (MEFs) of each office and determining the appropriate recovery time objectives for these essential functions.

The consolidated data from the workshop will form the final draft of the PSCP, which will be presented to the Administrative Council and ultimately to the Board of Regents. Despite surpassing the government’s initial deadline for plan formulation, SLSU remains committed to finalizing the PSCP, recognizing its crucial role in safeguarding the university’s resilience and service continuity in the face of future disruptions.
