The Iloilo Provincial Capitol employees participated in the Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill, spearheaded by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).
Each department has a designated drill commander to lead the employees to their assigned evacuation areas.
PDRRMO chief Cornelio Salinas said that to meet the highest standards of disaster preparedness, the provincial government has invited the Office of Civil Defense VI, Philippine National Red Cross, Bureau of Fire Protection, Federation Fire Iloilo, the Philippine National Police, and R6 Iloilo Search and Rescue Group to serve as evaluators.
They helped assess the province’s incident command system management, fire suppression efforts, security protocols, search and rescue operations and procedures, and emergency medical services.
Salinas reminded the employees to be patient and secure the proper attitude in disaster management.
“Let me remind you that our collective effort today lays the groundwork for a safer tomorrow,” Salinas said.
