IPPF-ISC Refreshes Disaster Preparedness, Conducts Fire and Earthquake Drill

LOOK: The Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm (IPPF) Inagawan Sub-Colony (ISC) refreshed their preparedness capabilities against the two common types of disaster which are fire incidents and earthquakes. On September 7 and 12, 2023, all personnel and Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) at ISC participated in the fire and earthquake drills, respectively.
 
Both drills were carried out to train the participants on necessary actions and responses in case of either fire or earthquake incident and to also educate the PDL on how to respond quickly and appropriately in the said disaster to reduce serious injury, or loss of life.
 
The Director General, GENERAL GREGORIO PIO P CATAPANG JR., AFP (Ret.), CESE, through the Superintendent of IPPF, C/CINSP GARY A GARCIA, RCrim, MSCA, guarantees that the IPPF and all of its sub-colonies are ready against any threat of natural harm as the safety of the PDL under our care is one of the bureau’s topmost priorities.
