Kapalong Rescue and Emergency Services Training Update

Last October 19-23, 2024, Kapalong Rescue and Emergency Services successfully conducted a comprehensive Basic Water Safety training. This course is a crucial component of the 18-day Search and Rescue Training for new KARES members which was facilitated by esteemed instructors and experts from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (WASAR Team) with the guidance from Bureau of Fire Protection- Search and Rescue Force (BFP-SRF).
