The Philippine National Police has activated Implan “Saklolo” (Policing During Disaster) to ensure availability of PNP personnel and resources for disaster incident management operations in areas threatened by Tropical Cyclone “Falcon”.
At the same time, the PNP Critical Incident Management Committee (CIMC) chaired by PNP Deputy Chief for Operations, Police Deputy Director General Marcelo P Garbo Jr. was convened to draw-up disaster response plans and mitigating actions.
According to Chief Superintendent Wilfredo Franco, Officer-in-Charge of the Directorate for Police Community Relations and Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Disaster Management, Implan “Saklolo” supports the government’s disaster risk reduction and management efforts in accordance with the PNP Critical Incident Management Operational Procedures (CIMOP).
Franco said all Police Regional Offices in areas that are expected to experience extreme weather conditions brought by Tropical Cyclone Falcon have been alerted to muster preposition equipment and personnel in areas prone to flash floods, landslides, and storm surge.
These police units were instructed to coordinate closely with NDRRMC and Local government units for possible enforcement of forced evacuation in high-risk communities. # Source - (PNP-PIO)
