On October 14, 2025, the school's Security and Safety Officer, Mr. Limwel Lamoc, hosted a virtual Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) meeting via Zoom. The session emphasized the preparation and readiness among school personnel which is crucial during disasters and emergencies. Key information discussed included: building exits and the location of the evacuation site, specific safety protocols and the defined roles and functions of individuals and groups within the school's DRRM Incident Command System (ICS). An open forum followed, ensuring all teachers, staff and personnel understood their vital role in the school's preparedness and response efforts.

The school's disaster readiness was further reinforced by an Orientation and Talk led by invited officers from the Parañaque Disaster Risk and Management Office (DRRMO) on October 14. The officers addressed students and personnel during a general assembly in the gym. This was immediately followed by a comprehensive Earthquake and Evacuation Drill and an On-site Assessment by the Paranaque City DRRMO team. Overall, the conduct of the drill was commendable with the students full attention and cooperation.  Suggestions and recommendations were also provided for further improvement.

The Paranaque DRRMO team later met with the school's DRRM Unit Heads to address specific queries and suggestions related to their respective units and functions, and overall conduct of the internal DRRM initiatives. The Parañaque DRRMO commended the school for its established DRRM Program, its spacious evacuation area, and its regular conduct of emergency drills. The post-drill meeting also focused on strengthening collaboration with other LGU units and planning for future emergency trainings.
