QUEZON CITYโA total of 14 Local Government Units (LGUs) were trained by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DIILG) - Office of Project Development Services (OPDS) on the operations and maintenance for evacuation centers and public building facilities from April 28-30, 2026, via Zoom.
Through the three-day virtual training, participating local government engineers and technical personnel from three LGUs in Abra, Kalinga, Mountain Province in CAR, as well as 15 LGUs in Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino in the Cagayan Valley Region, have strengthened their professional competencies in sustaining the safety, functionality, and resilience of public vertical infrastructure.
The training equipped participants with the key principles and components of Building Operations and Maintenance (BOM), including its importance to infrastructure sustainability and disaster resilience. It also covered the process of vertical structure inventory and its significance to asset management.
Participants likewise prepared a structured and detailed Annual Maintenance Work Plan for a sample LGU-owned building, including inventory, inspection schedules, and cost estimates using the BOM Tool.
Within three months after the training, participants are expected to formulate an LGU-specific action plan outlining at least three concrete next steps to improve operations and maintenance methods.
The training program is one of the key interventions of OPDS in support of the DILG's goal of reinforcing resilience among Filipino communities.
