OCD-2 trains San Pablo responders on incident command system
The Office of Civil Defense Region 2 (OCD-2) provided technical assistance to the local government of San Pablo, Isabela, through a three-day training aimed at improving the municipality's disaster preparedness and emergency response capabilities.
The Basic Incident Command System (BICS) Training Course was conducted from 10 to 12 November 2026 at Barkadas Hotel and Resort, with local officials, emergency responders, and other key stakeholders participating.
The training focused on standardized incident management procedures to help participants coordinate emergency operations, particularly during disasters, calamities, and planned events.
The Incident Command System provides an organized framework for managing personnel, resources, and response activities during emergencies, helping ensure a more coordinated and efficient response.
OCD Region 2 and the municipal government said the activity forms part of their continuing efforts to strengthen local disaster risk reduction and management capabilities and build more resilient communities.
The partnership also seeks to improve the protection of lives and properties in San Pablo and other parts of the Cagayan Valley region.
