QUEZON CITY (PIA) -- Quezon City barangays along the West Valley Fault recently took an Earthquake Landslide Search and Rescue Orientation Course (ELSAROC) organized by the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (QCDRRMO).
During the training, participants took part in simulations of rescue operations exercises, such as lifting and moving techniques and victim extrication and stabilization.
“Our main objective is to teach the barangay officials on how to properly respond during calamities, especially when earthquake happened. There are a lot of structures that could collapse and having an at least basic knowledge to lift the slabs will be of big help to manage the injury of the victim,” the city government said.
The training was designed to equip barangay officials in hazards and disaster management, particularly on collapsed structures search and rescue operations, and extricating and caring of victims.
Barangays transacted by the fault line are Bagong Silangan, Batasan Hills, Bagumbayan, Blue Ridge B, Libis, Old Balara, Pansol, Ugong Norte and White Plains.
