CARMONA CITY, Cavite (PIA) — Reporting emergencies and incidents in Carmona City is expected to become faster and easier with the help of the local government unit’s (LGU) own SOS: BML community app.
Launched last August 28, the Safety and Order Service: Bayan Muna Lagi (SOS:BML) Community App is a community safety and emergency reporting platform that gives residents direct and faster access to authorities and report incidents.
Mayor Dahlia Loyola said the application is part of their bid to incorporate technology into local governance, ensuring that “nobody is left behind”.
“We want our constituents to feel and see that their city government is accessible, that we are listening, and that we are ready to take action when it matters most.”
Through this application, Loyola said the public can report various incidents such as fire, crimes, accidents, and violence. Users can also report daily emergencies including those that involve senior citizens and Persons With Disabilities (PWD), solid waste, road obstruction, fallen posts and dangling telephone and electricity lines, noise complaints and more.
“We want this mobile application to become a working tool for our community na kokonekta sa tao at gobyerno para makatulong nang mas mabilis para makabuo ng mas ligtas at inklusibong lungsod.”
It also features daily updates on weather, traffic and even lost and found items.
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) lauded the city’s initiative for creating a community app for reporting emergencies.
Fire Senior Superintendent Nonilon Macasadia II, DCS, Provincial Fire Marshal, underscored the fire bureau’s commitment to work closely with Carmona LGU in ensuring public safety.
“By enabling swift response, the app strengthens multi-agency collaboration and response, ensuring a safer and more responsive environment for everyone. The BFP Cavite commends the City Government of Carmona for this forward-thinking project and reiterates its strong commitment to working hand-in-hand with the local government to serve and protect the community.”
The LGU will soon roll out a series of information drives, orientations, and other activities to help residents maximize the application. (PB-PIA CALABARZON)
