PHOTOS: “The 2024 Konfitma exercises were successful,” CNMI Homeland Security and Emergency Management Public Information Officer Bernard Villagomez said on Wednesday.
“It's very important that we practice all these exercises just in case a real-world scenario was to happen, which we don't want, but it's better to be prepared for the CNMI community, for the students, for the government responders to test their capabilities. So, when the real incident happens, we're prepared, and we can protect the CNMI community,” he added.
“The main challenge is coordinating with the different agencies, and because of the sensitivity of the scenarios with over 100 personnel from various agencies, communication is very important. As well as communicating with the community and the parents regarding the ongoing increased activity of first responders at various locations in Kagman area,” Villagomez said.
