BONTOC, Mountain Province – To further enhance the skills of emergency responders and to increase effectiveness and minimize slip-ups during emergency operations here in the province, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council conducted a three-day Basic Incident Command System (ICS) Training at Ridgebrooke Hotel and Restaurant on September 20-22, 2016.

ICS is a standardized on-site management system designed to enable effective, efficient incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure.

Highly trained resource persons from the Office of Civil Defense -Cordillera Administrative Region (OCD-CAR) were invited. Led by Assistant Regional Director Engr. Jose Ignacio Valera, the speakers lectured not only on the importance of having an ICS during calamities or emergencies but also on the concepts of ICS – its different hazard incidents management that can be adopted by all DRRMCs member agencies and response teams.
