THE Office of Civil Defense (OCD) has bolstered its disaster preparedness and response capabilities with the unveiling of new vehicles under its ongoing motor vehicle re-fleeting program.
A ceremonial blessing for the newly acquired vehicles took place on May 3, led by military priest Lt. Col. Roel Isip. The event was attended by director Caesar Agnir Jr. of the OCD Disaster Preparedness Service, highlighting the agency’s commitment to operational readiness.
Earlier this week, Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV, Civil Defense deputy administrator, oversaw the completion of the second year of the ambitious five-year program. Running from 2024 to 2028, the initiative aims to modernize the OCD’s mobility fleet to ensure swift and efficient disaster response.
The program, managed by the Administrative and Financial Management Service through the General Services Division, delivered significant milestones in its first two years.
