BACOLOD City Councilor El Cid Familiaran filed a resolution requesting Bacolod Interior and Local Government director Eliseo Orendez, in coordination with the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, to conduct first-aid training on emergency and disaster response for barangay tanods and barangay health workers in Bacolod City.
The resolution said the health condition of the people in the barangays and emergency situations, including the constant threat of disaster to communities and barangays, call for a creative and proactive response from the appropriate offices in the city. As frontline service providers of the barangays, barangay tanods and health workers are sometimes found ill-equipped in quickly responding during emergency calls and on possible danger that may be brought by disaster or calamities, it said. The resolution said trainings for barangay tanods and health workers like cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on unconscious victims, bandaging on wounds and injuries, and handling of possible patients during simulation drill involving vehicular incident are considered very useful in times of emergency situations. Equipping them with training skills on disaster management and/or flooding and water rescue are likewise important for an effective and efficient response during emergency situations, it added.
