FCTA Introduces ‘Emergency Marshals’ to Avert Hazard in Abuja

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), via the FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said on Wednesday that it has concluded plans to introduce ‘Emergency Marshals’ to work in different communities around the six Area Councils to curb hazards.

The Director-General, FEMA, Abbas Idris, disclosed that the agency has carried out hazard mappings in Abuja, identifying areas where urgent attention was required as
a measure geared towards mitigating the adverse effects of the rapidly growing population in the nation’s capital.

Idris noted that the decision to introduce Emergency Marshals was based on the need to increase life-saving interventions and also mitigate hazards.

According to him, the Marshals would complement the efforts of other volunteers who have played key roles in the agency’s activities.

“We intend to introduce Emergency Marshals this year. These are volunteers who assist students, hospital workers and PWDs, and other public servants during emergencies,” he said.

“They also assist in facility services, Risk Management and Safety Services by reporting conditions in a building that could pose hazard during an emergency.

“They also maintain an orderly evacuation; conduct a sweep of an area to ensure that evacuation is complete. The Marshals are also to participate in debriefings resulting from evacuation and complete a monthly checklist for fire safety issues in their areas,” he said.
