1. Threat Assessment and Risk Analysis:

o Before formulating a security plan, it’s crucial to assess potential threats and risks
specific to the area or situation. This involves analyzing crime patterns,
vulnerabilities, and any existing intelligence.
o Consider factors such as natural disasters, civil unrest, criminal activities, and public
gatherings.
2. Deployment Strategy:
o Determine the optimal deployment of police personnel based on the identified threats.
This includes:
 Patrols: Regular patrols in high-risk areas to deter criminal activities.
 Visibility: Ensuring police presence at critical locations.
 Emergency Response Units: Rapid response teams for immediate assistance.
 Specialized Units: Deploying specialized units (e.g., SWAT, K-9) as needed.
3. Communication and Coordination:
 o Effective communication is vital. Ensure seamless coordination among police
officers, other law enforcement agencies, and emergency services.
o Use modern communication tools (radios, mobile apps) for real-time updates.
4. Incident Response Plan:
o Develop a clear protocol for responding to various incidents (e.g., accidents, riots,
natural disasters).
o Include guidelines for crowd control, evacuation, and securing critical infrastructure.
5. Community Engagement:
o Engage with the community to build trust and gather intelligence.
o Conduct awareness campaigns on safety measures and emergency procedures.
6. Training and Equipment:
o Regular training ensures that police officers are prepared for any situation.
o Provide necessary equipment (body armor, communication devices, first aid kits).
7. Evacuation Center Establishment:
o The Philippines has been frequently affected by climate-related weather events,
which have damaged property and caused the loss of many lives. Coastal
communities and informal settlements in urban areas are particularly vulnerable
during floods and other disasters.
o The goal is to have permanent and fully operational evacuation centers with
necessary facilities in place. Using schools as evacuation centers disrupts educational
activities, so dedicated centers are essential.

8. Threat Assessment and Risk Mitigation:

o Police officers play a critical role in ensuring security within evacuation centers. Here
are some considerations:
 Threat Assessment: Evaluate potential risks (natural or human-induced)
specific to each center.
 Deployment Strategy: Optimal placement of police personnel for patrols,
visibility, and rapid response.
 Communication and Coordination: Effective communication among law
enforcement agencies and emergency services.
9. Incident Response Plan:
o Develop clear protocols for responding to various incidents within evacuation
centers.
o Include guidelines for crowd control, evacuation procedures, and securing critical
infrastructure.
10. Community Engagement:
o Engage with evacuees to build trust and gather intelligence.
o Conduct awareness campaigns on safety measures and emergency procedures.
11. Training and Equipment:
o Regular training ensures that police officers are prepared for any situation.
o Provide necessary equipment (communication devices, first aid kits) to enhance
response capabilities.
Barangay Police Security Officers (BPSOs) or Tanods:

 In the Philippines, BPSOs (commonly known as “Barangay Tanods”) play a vital role in
maintaining peace and order at the barangay level. Their duties and responsibilities include:
o Assisting barangay officials in crime prevention.
o Promoting public safety through patrolling (“ronda”).
o Reporting disruptions or unjust events to relevant offices.
o Tracking the presence and actions of criminals and illegal elements.
o Assisting police and “lupongtagapamayapa” in executing warrants and other judicial
proceedings.

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized on-site management system designed to
enable effective and efficient incident management by integrating a combination of facilities,
equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational
structure. It is widely used in emergency response scenarios, including evacuation centers during
disasters.
Here’s how the ICS can enhance safety in evacuation centers:
1. Modular Organization:
o The ICS can be easily expanded or contracted as needed. When an incident
overwhelms a single person’s capacity to manage, the Incident Commander can
appoint General Staff Positions (Section Chiefs) to oversee major components of the
operation.
o These positions include:
 Operations: Responsible for tactical operations (e.g., firefighting, rescues,
medical treatment) at the incident. All tactical positions report through the
Operations Section Chief.
 Planning: Collects, evaluates, disseminates, and uses information relevant to
the incident.
 Logistics: Provides facilities, services, and materials.
 Finance/Administration: Handles accounting, financial aspects, and legal
issues related to the incident.
2. Unified Command Structure:
o The ICS promotes a unified command structure where all agencies involved (police,
fire, medical, etc.) work together seamlessly. This ensures coordinated efforts and
prevents duplication of tasks.
3. Resource Management:
 o The ICS efficiently manages resources (personnel, equipment, supplies) by assigning
specific roles and responsibilities.
o In evacuation centers, this means ensuring adequate supplies (food, water, blankets,
etc.) and proper facilities for evacuees.
4. Early Preparedness Actions:
o Establish an Incident Command System (ICS) within the evacuation center. This
system is activated in response to disasters or emergencies.
o Fill up the necessary positions, including a Local Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management (DRRM) Officer and DRRM staff.
o Develop a Contingency Plan that includes activation of the early warning system,
pre-designated evacuation centers, evacuation routes, search and rescue procedures,
medical services, relief goods distribution, and evacuation center management.

1. This pertains to the PNP security preparations, operations and deployment plan
for the immediate disaster response to reduce the risk of disaster caused by human error,
deliberate destruction and building or equipment failure and be prepared to recover from
major natural catastrophe.
