USTLH Fire and Earthquake Drill 2026
UST Legazpi Hospital successfully conducted its 1st Fire and Earthquake Drill for year 2026 on May 21, reinforcing the hospitalโs commitment to readiness, awareness, and coordinated emergency response. This activity aims to ensure that all USTLH employees, patients, and visitors remain safe through proper evacuation procedures, teamwork, and quick decision-making.
Prior to the drill, the Bureau of Fire Protection facilitated an orientation covering the types and classes of fire, proper emergency response procedures, evacuation protocols, correct use of fire extinguishers, hospital compliance requirements, and other essential fire safety topics. After the drill, employees took part in a fire extinction exercise using fire extinguishers and water hose headed by the Fire Incident Commander, Rev. Fr. Michael M. Sales, OP.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the BFP for leading this vital orientation and for continuously supporting our disaster preparedness initiatives. Our sincere thanks as well to the USTLH Emergency Response Team, all offices and personnel who actively participatedโyour cooperation strengthens USTLHโs culture of safety, resilience, and readiness.
