Just dial ‘911’: ‘Dialect-sensitive’ emergency response now in more areas across PH
Key takeaways:
• Government and partners have launched 4 new Unified 911 satellite command centers in Batac, Ilocos Norte; Cauayan, Isabela; Tacloban, Leyte; and Leganes, Iloilo.
• This comes after the launch last year of the National Command Center in Manila, and Regional Command Center in Cebu.
• The SCCs are dialect-sensitive, which means they are equipped with hotline operators who can respond in the local language, reducing delays that can be caused by miscommunication due to translation errors
