To build the capability of former members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in disaster response, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) has embarked on a week-long training of about 50 MILF volunteers on Water Search and Rescue (WASAR) operation.
With the help of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division, the training is being conducted inside the military unit’s training school in Barangay Semba, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao.
Monday's training aims to equip members of the “Bantay Tulay at Baha” unit the capability to respond swiftly to flooding situations.
“The MILF volunteers are tasked to monitor bridges and floods in the BARMM and take rescue operations when necessary with the needed skills and ability to respond during calamities,” said lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, concurrent minister of BARMM’s Ministry of the Interior and Local Government.
Sinarimbo, who is also director of the Rapid Emergency Action on Disaster Incidence –BARMM, added that the training also aims to help educate the public about safety and disaster resilience of communities on the ground.
Similar WASAR training will take place in other parts of the region, he said.
The BARMM comprises the provinces of Maguindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Lanao del Sur, and Basilan; the cities of Cotabato, Marawi, and Lamitan; and the 63 villages in six towns of North Cotabato province.
