E911 National Office commends PLDT and Smart for direct routing of 911 calls to NGA911 activated call centers for free<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vision of a unified and integrated 911 emergency response system across the country is swiftly moving towards realization.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Advanced technology from Smart Telecommunications and the Philippine Long-Distance Telephone (PLDT) Company began to enable the seamless routing of 911 calls to the activated Local Command Centers in Morong, Rizal; Alaminos City, Pangasinan; and Cagayan De Oro City in October.<\/p>\n

For Smart and PLDT subscribers in these areas, emergency calls are now routed directly to the respective local government unit\u2019s (LGU) Local Emergency Response Centers. The streamlined process eliminates the previous step of routing calls through the Emergency 911 (E911) National Office and results in faster, more direct responses to emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe primary mandate of the E911 National Office under the 911 National Program is to provide and ensure improved public safety services to the general public by providing a clear command structure for responsibility and accessibility. We should also facilitate the prompt deployment of a seamless nationwide communication infrastructure for emergency services through the joint efforts of the government, the private sector, and civil society,\u201d said Executive Director Fajardo.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director thanked PLDT and Smart for their commitment to ensure that their subscribers have quick and direct access to emergency assistance. Fajardo urged other telecommunications providers to join this life-saving initiative for the greater public\u2019s good, safety, and survival.<\/p>\n

NGA 911 Philippines Country Head Rob Llaguno echoed these sentiments, commending PLDT and Smart for facilitating the early routing of their subscribers\u2019 911 calls to the LGU Command Centers. This significant advancement further speeds up emergency response, enhancing the LGUs’ ability to protect lives and property, Llaguno said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are integration-ready for any telco and eager to work with all concerned to equip our local government units with our NextGen emergency response system that is faster, more responsive, and resilient,\u201d Llaguno added.<\/p>\n

Llaguno emphasized the comprehensive support provided to the LGUs they serve, including the Philippine National Police Public Safety Command Center (PNP PCC). \u201cOur services include fully recorded 911 environments, seamless conference and transfer facilities for responders, and advanced mapping and location detection capabilities. Recent statistics indicate that approximately 90% of 911 calls received by the PNP PCC in NCR are met with response times of five minutes or less as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
