The Davao City-based Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) will
serve as a Command Center should a massive tremor strike tremor strike Eastern Mindanao .
This was determined during Wednesday's National Simultaneous
Earthquake Drill, said EMC public affairs Major Ezra Balagtey.
"This was the focus of the simulation exercise
conducted by EMC during the simultaneous national earthquake drill on June
22," he added.
The exercise which started at around 9:00 a.m. had two
phases; Phase I involved the immediate action after a disaster which includes
local evacuation and rescue within NSFA, while the second phase focused on the
role of EMC in the four regions of eastern Mindanao namely Regions X, XI, XII
& XIII; being the lead agency in Search Rescue and Retrieval.
The exercise included the simulation of battle staff action
as part of the command and control mechanism and integration to the Incident
Command System, and restoration of communication lines particularly with
operating units in eastern Mindanao .
Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment was also simulated being
the initial reference in the prioritization of assets within the inventory and
deployment of troops, Balagtey added.
