THE City Government of Baguio is requesting local barangay officials to coordinate with the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) to conduct day and night emergency drills for disasters in the barangay level, create emergency plans, and procure first aid kits and equipment for the purpose.
This is condensed in Resolution Number 353, series of 2018, passed by the City Council and signed by Mayor Mauricio Domogan.
It is based on a resolution introduced by Senior Citizen Offical For-A-Day (Scofad) Councilor Loreto Calderon during the Scofad session on October 1 this year in celebration of Senior Citizen’s Month.
The resolution states calamities and disasters strike in every corner of the world and that these are often unexpected by their very nature, leaving little time, if any, to prepare.
The resolution stressed the need to further pre-empt, secure and evaluate the disaster response of the city and barangay, being the frontline agency to residents, as well-prepared plans and action can spell the difference between safety, injury or death of people in the community.
