With Typhoon "Dodong" threatening a huge part of Luzon , the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) ordered
the activation of its disaster response task units (DRTUs) in the affected
provinces.
Activated were DRTUs of SOLCOM (Southern Luzon Command)
covering Bicol Region, and NOLCOM (Northern Luzon Command) covering Central and
Northern Luzon for HADR (humanitarian
assistance disaster relief) effective evening of May 8.
All units and soldiers were ordered on full alert, 7th Civil
Relations Group commander Major Emmanuel Garcia said on Saturday.
Garcia also said that the AFP had already met with
provincial and local government units to identify high risk areas and locations
where temporary shelters could be erected.
