Sangguniang Panlungsod Member El Cid Familiaran recently passed a resolution requesting the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) – Bacolod Director Eliseo Orendez, in coordination with the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office to consider conducting training for first aid on emergency and disaster response for barangay tanods and barangay health workers in the city.
The health condition of our people in the barangays and the emergency situation, including the constant threat of disaster to communities and barangays call for not just an innovative, but creative and pro-active response from the appropriate offices in the city., Familiaran said. He added that as frontline service is provided by the barangays, barangay tanods and barangay health workers, more often than not, were found to be inadequate in quickly responding during emergency calls and during possible danger that may be brought by disaster or calamities. Said resolution also provides that training for barangay tanods and barangay health workers such as cardio-pulmonary or unconscious victims, bandage wrapping and injuries, and spine board, handling in possible patients during a simulation, drill on vehicular incident are considered very useful in times of emergency situation. Familiaran also expressed that equipping them on disaster management and or flooding and water rescue skills training for coastal barangay tanods are likewise of useful importance for an effective and efficient response also on emergency situation.
