City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office – City Government of Ligao

The City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) – City Government of Ligao serves as an authorized TESDA Assessment Center dedicated to evaluating and certifying competencies in disaster risk reduction, emergency response, and community resilience. Strategically located in Ligao City, Albay, within the heart of the Bicol Region — an area frequently exposed to natural hazards such as typhoons and volcanic activity from Mayon Volcano — this center plays a critical role in building a certified, competent workforce capable of responding effectively to emergencies. As a TESDA-accredited assessment venue, it ensures that local government personnel, barangay disaster risk reduction teams, emergency responders, and community volunteers are assessed against national competency standards. The center supports the national thrust of professionalizing disaster management through formal certification, contributing to safer and more resilient communities across Ligao City and the broader Albay province. It is an essential resource for individuals seeking National Certificates in emergency and disaster-related qualifications under the TESDA framework.
