The readiness to respond during emergency situations will be put to the test as premier estates Cebu Business Park and Cebu IT Park are set to conduct the annual Parkwide Emergency Evacuation Drill tomorrow, September 27.
The annual parkwide drill is an earthquake drill that practices locators and building occupants in the estates on how to protect themselves during an earthquake. This includes the drop/duck, cover and hold SOP during the shaking and other emergency procedures.
The drill will also test the readiness of emergency brigades or quick response teams of the buildings and estates in responding to mass evacuation of all building occupants, and possible incidents that may arise from the earthquake such as mass commotion, fire, property damage, etc.
Cebu Business Park will commence its drill by 8 a.m., while Cebu I.T. Park will start by 2 p.m. Assigned evacuation areas will include vacant lots, open spaces and parks nearest to each respective building.
Aside from the readiness of our emergency brigade/quick response teams, it will also test the coordination of the estate management team with the buildings including our LGUs/NGOs on how to properly respond, control and manage such incidents.
To give way for building occupants evacuating the area, some roads in both estates will be closed to traffic tomorrow.
For Cebu Business Park, north-bound lane of Cardinal Rosales Avenue from PhilAm Life Center to Globe Tower will be closed from 6:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m. Vehicles bound for Juan Luna Avenue are advised to take Samar Loop.
For Cebu I.T. Park, the road along Avida Showroom and road along The Walk, Calyx and Central Bloc will be closed from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Cebu Business Park and Cebu I.T. Park are two of the city’s premier estates owned by Cebu Holdings, Inc. and Cebu Property Ventures Development Corporation respectively.
