Excerpt
After testing the agencies’ existing policies and procedures on maritime response on Thursday, the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) 6 plans to craft a template for sea rescue operations in the region. On Thursday, Members of the RDRRMC conducted a simulation exercise (simex) at the Iloilo Strait to assess and evaluate how agencies respond to a maritime incident. Jose Roberto Nuñez, chairman of the RDRRMC 6 and regional director of the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD)-6, said that while there are specific lapses, the participation of the concerned agencies is still commendable.
