911 hotline sa Cebu City

IYO ANTOY - Antolin dela Serna - Banat

Maayo og madayon ni. Ug kon mahinayon man, pareho unta ang pagka-efficient, ug pagka-epektibo sa 911 sa America.

Ang importante unya niini, mao ang mo-man, o ang mga tawo nga mo-operate sa facility. Kay tingali unya og mga tapulan, o daling mailad sa mga binuang nga tawag, o mga prank calls.          

Unsa man kining prank call? Tubag sa google: “A prank call (also known as a crank call or a hoax call or a goof call) is a telephone intended by the caller as a practical joke played on the person answering. It is often a type of nuisance call. It can be illegal under certain circumstances.”

Arang-arang na lang kon practical joke lang, kay mahimo nga mokatawa lang pud ang makadawat sa tawag. Apan, dinhi sa ato, mga buang gyud kaayo ang mga pranksters, manghulga nga adunay bomba nga gilubong.

Sa atong nasinati, matarantar intawon ang taga-opisina nga hingtungdan, magdinaganay pagpanggawas gikan sa building.

Atong ma-imagine ang pag-akig-ik og katawa sa prankter. Sa America, duna na silay mga paagi how to deal with prank calls.

Nalipay kita, nga dinhi sa atong dakbayan, aduna na unya kitay 911 hot line. Nag-simulate, o nagsuway na sila’g tawag sa 911, pinangulohan ni Robert Llagono, country manager sa Next Generation Advance 911 (NGA 911). Sa samang adlaw, gi-award ngadto sa NGA 911 pagpadayon sa proyekto, uban sa budget appropriation nga P9 million.  

Matud ni Llagono, ang 911 hotline sa Pilipinas, “will prompt questions, such as the callers’ location to be accessed immediately upon receiving through a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) internet connection.” Nindot, kon mao.

Sa simulation nga gihimo, inigdawat sa tawag pinaagi sa 911, ang user interface, ipakita dayon ang gigikanan sa tawag.

Itandi sa 911 sa America, si Llagono nagkanayon: “Comparing it with a similar system in the US, Llagono said the dispatcher can immediately track the location within a minute of picking up the call without actually asking where the location is.

“While the response team is en route, it is only when the type of emergency and the circumstance will be obtained hence reflecting the urgency of handling the call.

This will be the same system that Cebu City will be achieving soon through this hotline which will allow the user to capture all the history of the calls.

“The system also includes a rule in itself if the prank calls are shown multiple times, they can be routed to a separate queue particularly a dispatch for law enforcement.

 Aside from this, the system also allows the dispatcher to digitally tag the response team that they are collaborating with. To cater to this, the system is provided with ‘unlimited storage’ that can record all calls regardless of the length.” Nindot ni.

Mo-provide usab sila sa siyudad, og kaugalingong Emergency Service IP network. This would then allow all emergency calls to be coordinated from the national level to City Hall. Okay kaayo.

Kining maong mga innovations, maandam na in time sa atong gi-host nga Palarong Pambansa 2024 karong Hulyo.
