Before Disaster

Being ready before a disaster strikes is your first line of defense.

  • Prepare a Go-Bag with essential supplies for at least 72 hours.
  • Identify and memorize primary and secondary evacuation routes.
  • Keep a printed list of emergency contact numbers in your Go-Bag.

Preparation today ensures safety tomorrow.

During Disaster

Your safety during an emergency depends on staying alert and responsive.

  • Maintain composure to make clear, safe decisions for your family.
  • Monitor official LDRRMO Binalbagan social media and radio broadcasts.
  • Prioritize life over property; evacuate immediately if instructed.

Alertness and quick action save lives.

After Disaster

Safety remains the priority even after the immediate threat has passed.

  • Conduct a thorough check for injuries and provide first aid if needed.
  • Steer clear of compromised structures and downed power lines.
  • Contact local authorities to report gas leaks or structural hazards.

Stay vigilant as you begin the recovery process.

Stay Prepared. Stay Safe. Stay Informed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Guide to Safety and Resilience in Binalbagan.

Who do I call during a medical emergency or an accident?

For any immediate life-threatening emergency (accidents, heart attacks, or trauma), call the BERT (Binalbagan Emergency Response Team) Hotline at +63 939 232 1066. Our team operates 24/7 and provides pre-hospital medical care and rapid emergency transport.

Does LDRRMO provide free ambulance services?

Yes. Emergency medical transport via BERT is a free public service for residents of Binalbagan in critical, life-and-death situations. For non-emergency hospital transfers (e.g., scheduled checkups), please coordinate with the office at least 24 hours in advance.

How will I know if my Barangay needs to evacuate?

The LDRRMO issues warnings through the Official Binalbagan LGU Facebook Page, local radio broadcasts, and Barangay-level siren systems. We implement two levels of evacuation: "Pre-emptive" (highly recommended/voluntary) and "Forced" (mandatory by law) based on real-time PAGASA hydrological advisories.

Where is my nearest Evacuation Center?

Each Barangay has a designated evacuation center (typically the Barangay Hall, Multi-Purpose Gym, or a specific Public School). You can view real-time safe zones, active shelters, and hazard statuses directly on our E-ligtas Binalbagan tracking platform or consult your local Barangay Officials.

What should I do if a tree falls or a road is blocked after a storm?

Report any road obstructions, landslides, or fallen power lines immediately to the LDRRMO Operations Center. Our heavy clearing team will be dispatched in coordination with the Engineering Office. Under no circumstances should you attempt to move power lines yourself.

Can our school or business request First Aid or Fire Drill training?

Absolutely. One of our core missions is "Community Empowerment." You may send a formal letter of request addressed to the LDRRM Officer at the Municipal Hall to schedule Basic Life Support (BLS), Fire Safety, or Disaster Preparedness seminars for your organization.

How do I volunteer to join the Binalbagan Emergency Response Team (BERT)?

We actively encourage civilian participation! We hold annual recruitment drives for community volunteers. Applicants must undergo rigorous Basic Life Support (BLS) and Standard First Aid training provided by the LDRRMO. Contact the Admin Deputy at the municipal office for the next training schedule.

Is Binalbagan at risk for Tsunamis or Coastal Surges?

Due to our geographic location facing the Panay Gulf, coastal barangays are susceptible to storm surges during severe typhoons. The LDRRMO strictly monitors marine conditions and wave height telemetry. Residents in coastal areas should familiarize themselves with inland evacuation routes.

Our Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Commitment

"Fostering a Culture of Resilience, Vigilance, and Proactive Service by Safeguarding the Communities of Binalbagan through Strategic Climate Adaptation, Robust Emergency Preparedness, and Rapid Response Excellence."

A Message from the LDRRMO

"We believe that a vigilant, well-equipped, and disaster-resilient community is the bedrock of safe local governance; we are committed to strengthening every barangay, protecting our critical resources, and nurturing an elite response workforce to safeguard our municipality at a moment's notice."
