Tagalog News: ICT emergency responders sa Caraga
region nagtipon-tipon at bumuo ng protocol upang maisaayos ang sistema sa
komunikasyon tuwing may kalamidad

BUTUAN CITY, July 17 (PIA) - Nagtipon-tipon ang mga
emergency responders na galing pa sa ibat-ibang probinsya ng Caraga region sa
dalawang araw na ginanap na Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Bayanihan - Emergency Telecommunications Cluster Summit dito sa lungsod ng
Butuan.
Ang nasabing ICT Bayanihan Summit ay pinanguhanan
ng Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) ng Caraga
kasama ang Smart Communications.
Isa sa mga nilalayon ng nasabing ICT Bayanihan
Summit ang pagpapatatag ng epektibong sistema sa komunikasyon, at ng Rapid
Emergency Telecommunications Team (RETT) na siyang nangangasiwa sa regional
DRRMC operations center at magreresponde tuwing may disaster o kalamidad sa
rehiyon.
Ayon kay RDRRMC chairperson at Office of Civil
Defense (OCD) Caraga regional director Manuel Luis Ochotorena, mahalaga ang
partisipasyon ng mga ICT emergency responders sa ginanap na summit. Isa umano
itong whole-of-nation approach sa pamamagitan ng collaborative efforts ng
ibat-ibang sektor.
Ipinahayag din niya na makakatulong ang ICT
Bayanihan Summit sa pagtukoy ng mga communication equipment at protocols sa
operation centers at magkaroon ng inventory ng communication resources na
siyang gagamitin sa panahong may emergency o disaster.
Dagdag pa ni director Ochotorena, ang local DRRMCs
ay magsasagawa rin ng ganitong summit sa kani-kanilang probinsya ng Caraga
region nang mas lalo pang mapatibay ang mga stratehiyang nabuo upang maging
maayos at naaayon ang kanilang response operations tuwing may kalamidad o
emerhensya.
Samantala, ibinahagi rin ni Nova Concepcion, ang
senior manager, community partnership department public relations group ng
Smart Communications na lubos silang sumusuporta sa mga aktibidades ng RDRRMC
lalung-lalo na sa pagpapalaganap ng epektibong komunikasyon sa pamamagitan ng
Information and Communication Technology.
Ang Caraga region ay pang-pito umano sa mga
rehiyong nag-initiate ng ICT Bayanihan Summit. Dagdag pa niya, mayroon silang
wide range of communication solutions at pre-disaster platforms na nagbibigay
ng tama at napapanahong impormasyon na magagamit rin ng mga responders.
