'Twinning' system eyed for disaster response

MANILA – The Office of Civil Defense is studying a disaster response system called "twinning." Under that system, local governments will work with designated counterparts, or “twins,” who will act as second responders if their partner LGUs fail to respond during disasters. The system is among the things which will be discussed when disaster management authorities and local officials meet this week. -- News Now, ANC, June 15, 2014.
