Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr. has officially launched the Personal On-call Guard Interface (POGI) Emergency Mobile App, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing public safety in Angeles City. The app, which is the first of its kind in both Pampanga and Region 3, allows residents to access emergency services with just a few taps on their smartphones.
The POGI app is designed to streamline communication between the public and emergency response teams, providing a quick and efficient way to request assistance in critical situations. With this app, users can immediately contact the city’s emergency services, including police, fire, and medical teams, for swift intervention when needed.
Mayor Lazatin emphasized the importance of technology in improving the responsiveness and efficiency of emergency services in the city. He highlighted how the POGI app represents a significant step forward in modernizing local governance and ensuring that residents have easy access to help during emergencies.
The app’s user-friendly interface allows residents to quickly report emergencies, send real-time location data, and receive updates on the status of their requests. This feature is particularly valuable for situations where time is of the essence, as it enables emergency responders to reach affected individuals more rapidly.
The launch event was attended by city officials, as well as representatives from various emergency response units who expressed their support for the new tool. The app is expected to benefit not only the residents of Angeles City but also visitors who may find themselves in need of urgent assistance.
In addition to enhancing emergency response times, the POGI app also allows users to access important city information, such as public health updates, disaster alerts, and community news. This integration of multiple services within one app ensures that residents stay informed and prepared for any situation.
The city government of Angeles, under the leadership of Mayor Lazatin, continues to prioritize the safety and well-being of its citizens. With the launch of the POGI Emergency Mobile App, Angeles City is setting a new standard for technological innovation in public safety within the region.
