Tarlac provincial gov’t launches 911 hotline

TARLAC CITY – The provincial government, in partnership with Department of the Interior and Local Government and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, recently launched the 911 emergency hotline of Tarlac.

“With the launching of the province’s 911 hotline, it can now address the emergency needs of Tarlaqueños. Hopefully, we will be able to address situations to lower the crime rate and prepare for disasters,” Governor Susan Yap said.

“The facility that will house the Operations Center for 911 is now under construction and this will be a big boost to the Tarlac’s immediate response to disasters and emergencies,” she furthered.

Penalties will be imposed to prank callers who will illegally clog the lines.
“911 should be reserved for emergency cases and not for prank calls or a personal venue for problems,” Yap stressed.

The installation of Tarlac’s own 911 is in response to the call of President Rodrigo Duterte to streamline hotline numbers. (CLJD/TJBM-PIA 3)
