A Unified 911 Satellite Command Center was officially launched on June 4 at the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Station in Barangay Quiling Sur, City of Batac.
The facility is one of the four newly established Unified 911 Satellite Command Centers in the country and will serve the entire Region I. It aims to improve emergency coordination and communication among response agencies to provide faster and more efficient assistance to communities during emergencies.
One of its key features is the presence of trained operators who can communicate in local dialects, helping callers relay information more clearly and allowing responders to act more quickly.
The Unified 911 is the Philippines’ centralized nationwide emergency hotline managed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). Through a single emergency number, callers are connected to a coordinated network of emergency responders from various agencies.
Mayor Markee R. Chua, along with other city officials joined officials from the DILG, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, partner agencies, local officials, and residents during the launch of the facility.
