Rescue 1122 in Murree has completed its preparations for the winter season and placed its emergency units on alert, so that help can reach residents and visitors quickly if snow falls or other emergencies arise in the hill station. The unit announced the arrangements in Rawalpindi on November 11. They form part of the Murree snowfall emergency plan, which covers snowfall, road accidents and other incidents.
Who ordered the arrangements
The arrangements were made on the instructions of Deputy Commissioner Murree Agha Zaheer Abbas Shirazi and Secretary Emergency Services Dr Rizwan Naseer (Sitara-e-Imtiaz). They follow winter safety and emergency guidance issued by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), the provincial body that sets rules for disaster response. Engineer Kamran Rashid, District Emergency Officer Murree, is supervising the work, while the District Disaster Management Coordinator is liaising with other departments to make the arrangements work.
What the plan covers
Under the Murree snowfall emergency plan, Rescue 1122 staff, ambulances, fire-rescue vehicles and other equipment will stay ready day and night to respond to snowfall, road accidents and other emergencies. Mobile squads stationed at facilitation centres are prepared to give immediate medical aid, rescue work and other emergency services to people who need them. Rescue 1122, the district administration and other departments have set up joint coordination so that any emergency can be handled promptly.
Advice for residents and tourists
Rescue 1122 Murree has urged people to take precautions during winter and snowfall, avoid travel that is not necessary, carry basic safety gear in their cars, and keep up with weather and road updates. Anyone who needs urgent help should call the unit's helpline. The advice is aimed at both local residents and visitors who travel to the hill station during the cold months, and emergency teams are to remain on alert for the duration of the winter season.
