Background:

School Hydrological Information Network or SHINe is a simple school-based program aimed at addressing issues on the effects of climate change, in particular focusing on awareness to hydrolometeorological-related disasters. The activity is one way of supporting the Department of Education’s (DepEd) thrust in its developmental program on the “climate change” enhanced curriculum. This is consistent with the underlying principle that disaster awareness begins in schools.

The program aims to strengthen the community, particularly the school, to cope with disasters such as floods through the school’s regular monitoring of rainfall, river or water level stage (at some areas) and tracking of incoming tropical cyclones path being carriedout at the school’s capacity level. The data monitored are readily provided to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Office (PDRRMO) and the disaster councils at municipal and barangay levels during times of inclement weather condition and thus helping out the community in its disaster preparedness and mitigation activities.

Program Objectives

Enhance the disaster awareness of the school’s populace through its regular hydrological monitoring in effect prevent loss of lives and protect properties.
Coordinate and provide timely hydrological information to the PDMO, now PDRRMO, the disaster councils at Municipal and Barangay levels to properly operate the local flood warning system of the province.
Develop long-term strategies not only on a provincial level but national as well based on the data and information collected from the network of observations by the SHINe school groups.

Brief of SHINe History:

In 2006, the School Rainfall Observation Network or SRON was conceived by the PRFFWC as a proposed in-line activity to the Community-based Flood Mitigation & Management Program (CBFMMP) of the Province of Bulacan which was also conceived by the former in 2004. Later SRON was renamed to School Hydrological Observation Network (SHON). SHON program plans and activities were prepared but the activity was held-off due to the numerous disaster-related responses that the then Bulacan PDMO had to cope-up with during the period 2007 to early 2008. By last quarter of 2008, SHON was renamed to SHINe and was implemented in 3 high-land situated secondary schools in order to augment the rainfall observations of the CBFMMP. These were at DRT, Akle and J.J.Russell High Schools in DRT, San Ildefonso, and San Miguel towns, respectively.

The program was well accepted at the 3 school areas and by the PGB such that by early quarter of 2009, 6 more secondary schools were selected for implementation: Norzagaray, Binagbag, Taboc, Vedasto Santiago, SJDM, and F.Halili High Schools in Norzagaray, two in Angat, San Miguel, SJDM City, and Sta. Maria towns, respectively.

About mid-year of 2010, OXFAM, an international NGO, recognized the activity as an innovative program and one of the best practice for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Before the end of the year 2010, a comeback visit to the 9 schools was undertaken for reorientation and on December 06, 2010 the first SHINe Conference was successfully held in Hiyas Convention Center, City of Malolos, Bulacan and thus this conference proceeding.

Hon. Wilhemino M. Sy-Alvarado, Provincial Governor and PDRRMC Chairman (above picture) speaking before the delegates in the SHINe conference. In his message, Governor Alvarado related the importance of cleanliness in the community as a way of addressing the issues on global warming, which is actually one of the major component activity of SHINe on the issues related to Climate Change.

(Left picture) Flanked by the Vice Governor, Hon. Daniel R. Fernando (far left), and some visitors of PGB, Gov. Alvarado stressed also the important role of the youth in community affairs and local governance. The student youths now are obviously the next in-line entrepreneurs and leaders of the country. Likewise, Vice Governor Fernando followed-up on this line with his message on having discipline and perseverance in every undertaking that they intend and plan to do.

(Right picture) Mr. Carlo dela Cruz, Education Program Supervisor, EPP/TLE Agriculture of DepEd represented Ms. Edna S. Zerrudo, School Division Superintendent and PDRRMC member, to the conference event and conveyed the latter’s message to the delegates.

Mr. dela Cruz also formally closed the event by saying that the DepEd division of Bulacan shall be a continued partner to the SHINe program and he encouraged the students to be more vigilant in their observations to be aware and always be prepared during times of inclement weather conditions.
