The new head of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) assumed command of the disaster response agency on Tuesday.

Teodoro expressed confidence in Cabreros’ leadership and capabilities to steer the country’s comprehensive civil defense and disaster resilience programs, in support of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
