Civil Defense conducts training on basic incident command system
FOR CDRRMC, VOLUNTEERS
THE Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Region 1 in coordination with the Dagupan City government conducted a Basic Incident Command System (BICS) Training for members of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC), line government agencies, civil society groups and volunteers last November 8-10 at the E-Library in Barangay Poblacion Oeste.
Mayor Belen Fernandez underscored the need for the BICS training to capacitate the CDRRMC in times of disasters and calamities even as she is hopeful for the local government unit of Dagupan to integrate the system in the grassroots level to involve residents and the community.
ICS is a standard, on-scene and all-hazard incident management concept introduced by the United States Forest Service and is being utilized by DRRMCs in the country to manage and coordinate actions of all response groups.
A November 10 meeting between the local chief executive and the regional director discussed programs for Disaster Mitigation, Disaster Preparedness and Family Disaster Preparedness.
The three-day seminar/training tackled modules among these Managing Incidents and Events, Assessment and Management, Organizing and Managing Resources and Incident and Event Planning. (Dagupan CIO News)
