Last Year 2011 ICER 8th anniversary & July National Disaster Consciousness Month




Last year, ICER held the Disaster Simulation Drill in-line with Disaster Preparedness Month on July 25. The simulation was a test on the actual response time to getting to the accident area in rapid time. The scenario involves with multi cab loaded with passengers and thrown out a lot of passengers on the sides, a taxi driver was pin down also at the scene, but no passenger on board at the time of the accident. Also involve on the scene, a tamaraw FX hit the front left side of the taxi and the driver knock unconscious. And finally, a tricycle also hit both tamaraw FX and the taxi making the tricycle sandwich by the two vehicles.
