BFP Joins the Celebration of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction

The BFP joins the global observance of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, reaffirming its commitment to building a safer and more resilient Philippines.

Speaking on behalf of Director JESUS P FERNANDEZ, Chief, BFP, the Deputy Chief for Operations, FCSUPT WILBERTP RICO NEIL A KWN TIU expressed gratitude to partners from the private sector, especially ARISE Philippines, for their continued collaboration and support in advancing disaster preparedness nationwide.

The official highlighted the vital role of the BFP in all forms of crisis and disaster management—from fire suppression and rescue operations to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. As a 24/7 emergency response agency, the Bureau remains steadfast in its mission to protect lives and property.

With the implementation of Republic Act 11589 or the BFP Modernization Act, the agency continues to evolve from its traditional fire prevention and suppression functions into a multi-capable emergency service—providing Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT), and Search and Rescue (SAR) operations across the country.

In his message, the Deputy Chief underscored that disaster management begins with every Filipino—embracing a culture of safety, security, discipline, and self-help, as true resilience starts within each individual.
