NDRRMC bares new FB and Twitter accounts for quick response

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) put up new Facebook and Twitter accounts dedicated to quick response and coordination for the Typhoon Ruby humanitarian efforts.

“These official Facebook and Twitter accounts are for information exchange and coordination only so we can facilitate quick response to everyone in need,” said NDRRMC Executive Director Alexander Fama in a press conference Saturday night.

NDRRMC's newest social media for response are the following: Ruby Response Cluster (on Facebook), @ruby response and #rubyresponse (on Twitter) and rubyresponsecluster@gmail.com (for e-mails).

People may opt to call or text NDRRMC at 0928-258-8676 and 0928-258-8691 or use the following landlines: 911-1230, 91101292, 911-1183, 911-1178 and 911-11173

Undersecretary Fama said the public need to specify the nature, time and location of the problem and identify themselves properly.

He urged the public to refrain from posting irrelevant and unvalidated information or pranks on NDRRMC FB and Twitter accounts so people who are truly in need of help will be assisted. (LP)
