The objectives of the seminar are: To strengthen the ability in planning and implementation of incident command system in time of calamities and other emergency cases; and to establish organized and systematic effort in responding to accidents through effective utilization of resources.

Abucay Mayor Robin Tagle said he expects that after the five-day seminar participants shall have deeper understanding and expertise in undertaking integrated plans in disaster response and management. “This seminar is important since our country is frequented by typhoons and natural calamities,” the mayor said.
