Office of Civil Defense

The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) plays a critical role in disaster response and management in the Philippines, coordinating relief efforts and distributing aid to victims of natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods. It works closely with government agencies and local communities to ensure timely assistance and recovery operations, especially in areas heavily affected by calamities. Recent events, including the Cebu earthquake and Typhoon Ramil, have highlighted the OCD's importance in saving lives and supporting rehabilitation efforts nationwide.
