AYALA Center Cebu intensified its emergency preparedness program by involving all merchants, employees and outsourced personnel in the mall's fire drill and evacuation exercise this Fire Prevention Month.
From March 9 to 12, Ayala Center Cebu conducted emergency preparedness seminar for employees and merchants on the different emergency situations such as fire, earthquake, bombing and bomb threats. Participants were taught how to handle evacuation of mall clients and staff during emergency cases.
They were also oriented on the different emergency exits of the mall.
This year's activity, focused on the theme ?Sustaining Fire Prevention through Active Community Participation,? saw the participation of Cebu Holdings Incorporated?s (CHI) stakeholders.
CHI security manager Ding Rey said the fire drill was designed to highlight the Fire Prevention Month and to protect the clients and properties of CHI.
Every year, Ayala Center Cebu does an internal assessment/rating right after the drills to see if there is a need improve security and safety in the mall and other CHI-managed properties.
Through the assessment, the mall has bought additional firefighting paraphernalias such as fire boots, jackets and helmets. Additional hoses were also purchased to upgrade the mall's fire fighting capabilities.
