Seventeen individuals from various barangays, private agencies, employees, schools, and corporations in Taguig City have also been trained by the city government in providing first aid since January.
The five-story new building will also serve as an evacuation center.
It is equipped with tools that can assist in immediate response during a disaster and emergencies.
Staff of the Taguig City government who require additional knowledge in rescuing disaster victims and others will specialize at the Center for Disaster Management, which has state-of-the-art facilities.
The TOWER, or the Taguig Open Weather & Environmental Reporting System, which provides updates on the weather, is also located in the Center's building.
