The Disaster Risk and Exposure Assessment for Mitigation (DREAM) PHIL-LiDAR 1 Program conducted its first Airborne Hyperspectral Imaging Training (using Compact Airborne Spectographic Imager, CASI) to 20 members of PHIL-LiDAR 1 & 2 Programs last June 22-26, 2015 at the Computational Science Research Center, University of the Philippines Diliman. 

Last June 18-19, 2015, the DREAM Program's personnel underwent a Mid-Year Assessment Training to further improve its workflow and processes, with the aim to increase productivity and efficiency. With the interaction among DREAM Personnel and sharing of perspectives of the vision looking forward to 2016, the DREAMers were able to concretize some ideas on how to manage the tasks and deliverables towards the end of the program.

Disaster Risk and Exposure Assessment for Mitigation (DREAM) Program Leader Enrico C. Paringit, Dr.Eng. took home one of the 2015 Outstanding Young Scientist titles in an announcement released by the National Academy of Science and Technology last 2 June 2015.
