Regional Education Directorate 07 announces first Risk Management Olympiad

The Regional Education Directorate 07 has announced the first Risk Management and Emergency Response Olympiad, a pioneering initiative at both the regional and national levels. Scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, the event focuses on first aid, prevention, mitigation, and immediate response techniques.

Organized by the Environmental and Risk Management Unit, the competition aims to transform theoretical safety concepts into practical field competencies. Participants, including students, teachers, and school administrators, will be evaluated through simulated emergency scenarios, crisis management exercises, and self-control drills.

Regional Director Wilson Rafael Ortega stated that the initiative strengthens the operational preparedness of educational centers and their surrounding communities. Coordinator José Manuel Capellán added that the Olympiad promotes teamwork and critical decision-making. The program seeks to establish a methodological model that could be replicated across other educational districts during the 2026-2027 academic cycle.
