00:00 As part of the preparation for the strong tides and tsunami,

00:03 a reverse exercise was conducted in Oriental Mindoro

00:08 and here, the proper and quick response to various types of emergency was demonstrated.

00:14 Here is the report.

00:16 Firefighters responded to the fire.

00:23 Rescuers who helped to rescue the victims of the tsunami and the sinking of the ship.

00:30 You might think it's true, but it's just a few of the scenes in the reverse exercises conducted in Oriental Mindoro.

00:38 In one scenario, the magnitude 7.1 tides hit the city of Calapan, which was hit by a tsunami.

00:45 Because of the tides, a house in Calapan Port sank and a ship sank due to the tsunami.

00:52 In another scenario, many were trapped and the part of Oriental Mindoro Provincial Hospital was lost and burned.

01:00 Rescue teams from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Bureau of Fire Protection,

01:08 police, military and the local government were assigned to respond quickly and properly to rescue the victims.

01:15 The proper handling of the dead and the families of the victims was also demonstrated in the reverse exercise.

01:23 The Social Welfare Office was also there to help the families of the victims.

01:28 According to Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Bonsdolor,

01:32 the reverse exercise was very important, especially following the tides of the past month.

01:39 We want to be prepared, that's why we were assigned to the partnership of Oriental Mindoro Medical Society and the Provincial Government

01:46 to ensure the basic strategies, procedures and what to do in the event of a tides.

01:54 We were able to see the exercise.

01:56 Second, we want the responders to see what will happen if the tsunami hits.

02:02 Third, we want to see the lapses so that we can evaluate the situation.

02:07 The Office of Civil Defense also witnessed the reverse exercise.

02:12 The province is prone to tides because there are many fault lines here.

02:17 That's why all responders should be prepared in the event of a strong tides and tsunami.

02:23 Here, we saw the one province approach.

02:26 Aside from the provincial, municipal and city, NGOs, and the national government,

02:31 we know what to do. The procedure that is being followed will be systematic and synchronized.

02:38 The magnitude 7.1 tides hit Oriental Mindoro last November 1994, when the tsunami hit.

02:47 Aside from the damaged houses, houses, roads, and bridges,

02:51 almost 80 people died and almost 300 people were injured.
