Davao City Central 911
The Davao City Central Communication and Emergency Response Center, or the Davao City Central 911 is the first of its kind emergency response system in the Philippines and in Asia, and the third in the world after the United States and Canada. It is the brainchild of no less than the then City Mayor of Davao City, now Vice Mayor, Honorable Rodrigo R. Duterte as part of his peace and order program for the people of Davao City.
Davao City Central 911 is a highly computerized, fully integrated emergency and rescue dispatch system that links the residents of Davao to the entire emergency resources of Davao City. It provides residents of Davao City immediate response to emergencies by simply dialing 911 on any land line or mobile phone.
Patterned after the 911 system of the United States and Canada, Davao City Central 911 uses a modified version of its Geographic and Information System (GIS), called, the Emergency Computer Aided Dispatch (ECAD), a computerized mapping system that allows authorities locate the origin of a distress call and even tracks police response time to emergency calls. It utilizes GIS maps plotted with grid lines to triangulate location of the caller. It also captures stores and recalls data in an electronic database. The system uses color-coded icons which monitor movement and location of police mobile units: Blue for mobile units at rest; Red for on the move response, and Green for onsite.
Established in September 27, 2002, and in partnership with the Davao Light and Power Company, the Davao City Central 911 presently consists of fire auxiliaries, K-9 units, urban search and rescue teams, police and emergency medical services. The center operates 24/7 and is interconnected with telecommunications companies such as the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, Bayantel, Globe, Smart, and Sun Cellular, to enable easy access via mobile phone.

The 911 Call Center answers emergency calls and logs the appropriate information on the ECAD system, and pinpoints the precise location of the emergency on the GIS maps projected on their computer screens. The information gathered is automatically sent to the dispatcher who immediately deploys the appropriate responder nearest to the scene of emergency.
