Unified 911 system to launch two satellite command centers in Mindanao

Two dialect-sensitive command centers in Mindanao will be rolled out this month under the Unified 911 system, expanding the reach of the country’s emergency network.

“By placing command centers closer to the people and ensuring that emergency telecommunicators speak the local language, we remove barriers during the moments when every second counts,” said Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla in a statement.

“This is how we make emergency assistance faster, more accessible, and truly nationwide,” he added.
