Mindanao Focus: Smart Cities for a Safer BARMM
The Bangsamoro DRRM Summit 2025 brings together leaders, experts and partners committed to reinforcing disaster risk reduction and management across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
With the guiding theme “One BARMM, One Vision: Strengthening Resilience through Partnership, Policy, and Innovation,” the summit emphasizes:
- Stronger collaboration across agencies and sectors
- Policy-driven approaches to disaster preparedness
- Innovation-led strategies to protect lives, livelihoods and infrastructure
Hosted at Acacia Hotel, Davao City on November 25–26, 2025, the event positions Mindanao as a key hub for resilience-building conversations that benefit communities across the region, including fast-developing cities such as Iligan.
Smart City Session: Future-Proof Communities with IoT
Packetworx will contribute to the summit program through a dedicated session led by Jude Michael Bagayao, Technical Presales Engineer, who will present the talk:
“Smart City: Building Resilient and Future Proof Communities with IoT.”
The session will explore how Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can support:
- Real-time monitoring of risk-prone areas
- Faster emergency response through connected devices and sensors
- Data-driven decision-making for local governments
- Long-term planning for safer, more sustainable urban communities
By sharing practical insights from the field, Packetworx aims to help BARMM stakeholders and Mindanao LGUs understand how connected solutions can enhance community safety and improve day-to-day services.
