BFP Conducts Rescue Operation Amid Massive Flooding in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental
Flooding is a natural disaster that has plagued human communities for generations, leaving a trail of devastation and destruction in its wake. Floods have the ability to devastate people, infrastructure, and the environment when they occur as a result of extreme rainfall, storm surges, snowmelt, or the failure of natural or built barriers.
Heavy rainfall, river overflow, storm surges, and human activities are some of the major factors causing floods. Flooding can lead to damage to properties, loss of lives, service interruptions, health risks, and environmental impact.
However, the impact of this natural calamity can be minimized through early warning systems, floodplain management, flood control infrastructure, public awareness, and preparedness.
On Tuesday (July 25, 2023), the Bacolod Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Pahanocoy Fire Sub-station personnel launched a rescue operation due to massive flooding in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
The Pahanocoy Fire Sub-station personnel showed their dedication and skill while conducting a rescue operation in Purok Hanapbuhay, Brgy. Pahanocoy, Bacolod City. The authorities aimed to address a critical situation in the town.
The rescue team assisted around 74 families who faced imminent danger due to the flooding. The flood victims have been temporarily relocated to MG Medalla Integrated School.
