Seagull rescue forms Cebu chapter
THE LDS Seagull Rescue International announced the creation of its Cebu chapter in Nov. 10, 2010 in Cebu City.
The rescue group has been undergoing training on emergency medical response, search and rescue, vehicular accident patient extrication, ropemanship, water safety, swift water rescue, water survival, firefighting, building collapse, high-angle rescue technique, artificial respiration/cardiopulmonary resuscitation and disaster preparedness and management.
The group has already been helping and assisting in disaster and relief efforts of Cebu City.
The LDS Seagull Rescue International Cebu Chapter plans to sponsor a show February next year to raise funds for their equipment.
The chapter hoped to be a better rescue response group.
The LDS Seagull Rescue International was founded in 1998 by a group of young men in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, led by Peter Negrido, whose interest is to assist people during disaster.
When Negrido transferred to Manila in 2006, he organized the LDS Seagull Rescue Pasig chapter that consists of 12 members.
Within the same year, the Makati Chapter was organized, followed by Cavite chapter.
