The donation ceremony was attended by Victorias City Mayor Javi Benitez and Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer Rodolfo Retirado, alongside Packetworx Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jose Arnold Bagabaldo and Chief Commercial Officer Benigno Marasigan, who officially signed the deed of donation.
The donation included cutting-edge devices such as two packetSENSE Rainfall Gauges for precise rainfall monitoring, three packetLEVEL Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors for monitoring water levels at key bridges and rivers, and three packetSUBLEVEL Hydrostatic Pressure Sensors for real-time flood monitoring at street level.
