Dear Residents and Friends,
If you do not already know by now, there is a Community Emergency and Engagement Committee (C2E) in Bishan East divison. Just a little background. The C2E is a new community Emergency Preparedness (EP) Unit formed in each constituency through the merger of the existing Emergency Preparedness Group (EPG) and Civil Defence Executive Committee (CDEC). The group is made up of dedicated volunteers and residents who would be called upon when peacetime emergencies or wartime emergencies occur.
To equip our community volunteers with the important skills to manage such emergencies, the C2E, supported by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), conducted a one-day introductory course on Sunday, 26 April 2009. Training modules on first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), fires safety and casualty evacuation, emergency procedures and unconventional threats were delivered to provide our community leaders with some insight and understanding.

During the hands-on sessions, our grass root leaders learn how to perform simple first aid bandaging to stop bleeding and to immobilise fractures. They also practised CPR on dummies and learnt how to manage unconscious casualties.
If you are interested to pick up such useful life-saving skills and play a part within the C2E, please feel free to approach the Bishan East Community Club for more information.
