CDRRMO to inspect swimming pools, resorts

THE Bacolod City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) will inspect swimming pools and beach resorts in the city this week to ensure the compliance of City Ordinance 749 or the hiring of certified lifeguards.

Dondon Parandas, officer-in-charge of DRRMO, said his personnel will be deployed in various areas in cooperation with the Permits and Licensing Division.

“The resort owners and similar businesses should have certified lifeguards to ensure the safety of resorts and beachgoers,” he said.

He added the inspection team will determine if the resort lifeguards are still active.

Parandas noted that last year, the Philippine Coast Guard trained several lifeguards in Bacolod City and Negros Occidental.

After the training course, the lifeguards were given a certificate for completing lifesaving technique training, basic life support cardiopulmonary resuscitation course, water safety course, and water search and rescue course.

Mayor Evelio Leonardia earlier ordered the CDRRMO to enforce CO 749. (MAP)
