(HSEM)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The CNMI Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is nearly done with setting up a Municipal Operations Center in Sinapalo, Rota that will function as a command center in the municipality in times of disasters.<\/p>\n<p>An HSEM team went to Rota last Oct.17, 2022, to continue the setup of the Rota MOC and stayed in the municipality for a week, during which they finished several components of the project, including implementation of Disaster Management Systems, as well as preparing and configuring computers and workstations to better navigate emergency preparedness.<\/p>\n<p>HSEM will soon be setting up a similar MOC on Tinian once they are done with the one on Rota. Yesterday\u2019s HSEM news release did not indicate a specific timeline on when they expect to complete setting up the Rota MOC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we are nearing completion of the Rota MOC, we look forward to commence the Tinian MOC setup,\u201d said acting special assistant Joey DelaCruz. \u201cThese efforts are a result of the vision [of] Gov. Ralph Torres, CNMI HSEM special assistant Dennis Mendiola, and multi-agency collaboration. Rigorous preparation and innovating management will assist the CNMI in becoming a better prepared community in times of disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A critical purpose of CNMI HSEM includes increasing the disaster readiness of command buildings, based on the CNMI\u2019s experience with disasters over the past seven years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCNMI HSEM applauds the Office of the Governor for their continued cooperation and untiring support in supporting the CNMI municipalities efforts of implementing a MOC. CNMI HSEM will continue to work hard to support a modern, safe, and efficient MOC center for the residents and employees,\u201d the HSEM news release stated.<em> (Saipan Tribune)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CNMI Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is nearly done with setting up&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":378811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1324],"class_list":["post-378809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-hsem"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
