The Meralco Rescue, in coordination with the Bureau of Fire Protection-Pasig, and the Pasig Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, recently conducted an emergency preparedness educational tour for 23 preschoolers of the Philippine Montessori Center. During the training at the Meralco Rescue Fire Sub-Station, the children were taught basic skills on handling emergency medical incidents such as calling for help via the 911 hotline, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, how to use an automated external defibrillator, how to escape burning buildings through rappelling/zipline, what to do during zero visibility scenarios, and fire suppression. The training aims to instill the importance of emergency preparedness, alertness, and presence of mind in the children, which can greatly help in times of crisis. Meralco continuously enhances its emergency capability to boost efforts in providing a safe environment for its employees as well as the community it serves. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
