From Shelves to Safety: NLP’s CCT/IERT Team Undergoes Incident Command System Training with MDRRMO

The NLP Continuity Core Team and Incident/Emergency Response Team (CCT-IERT) undergo training with the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) to strengthen their emergency preparedness and response capabilities. This training on the Introduction to Incident Command System (ICS), facilitated by Mr. George A. Padayao and Mr. Jonel A. Tuñacao, equips the CCT-IERT team with essential knowledge and skills in disaster coordination, command structure, and on-the-ground response strategies. Both trainers are Emergency Medical Technicians and training staff of the MDRRMO who shared their experience and expertise.

Furthermore, the CCT-IERT learned the key considerations in establishing incident facilities and appropriate staffing, as well as the specific roles and responsibilities of each officer involved in emergency response. Through this initiative, the National Library of the Philippines reaffirms its commitment to safety, resilience, and readiness in the face of potential emergencies. This training reflects NLP’s dedication and commitment to fully developing its employees, transitioning from traditional library roles to emergency preparedness.
