A guide on how to respond to 14 different emergency scenarios, from terrorist shootings to infectious disease outbreaks, was launched on Tuesday (March 19) as part of a ground-up initiative by the BukitPanjang Grassroots Organisation.
SINGAPORE - A guide on how to respond to 14 different emergency scenarios, from terrorist shootings to infectious disease outbreaks, was launched on Tuesday as part of a ground-up initiative by the Bukit Panjang Grassroots Organisation.
Other information includes a suggested emergency kit, a list of clinics and civil defence shelters in Bukit Panjang, and AED locations in the area. "Singapore has also been affected, and will continue to be, in the future. Just last year we experienced the highest wind speeds ever recorded in Singapore's history, which caused devastation to several farms in Lim Chu Kang," said Dr Teo, who is also Mayor of North West District."Terrorism also continues to be a threat to our safety and security. Since 2015, 22 Singaporeans have been self-radicalised," Dr Teo said.
A 15-member team under the Bukit Panjang Community Emergency and Engagement Committee spent seven months last year to come up with the guide.
