The ten members of dispatched team led by A-PAD COO Kaori Neki include A-PAD program coorinator Midori Yajima, two K9 team members with two rescue dogs, two doctors, and four PWJ rescue and relief coordinators.

A-PAD MO has been in communication with A-PAD’s Philippine representatives of Citizen’s Disaster Response Center (CDRC) and The Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) to assess the situation in the country. The dispatched team will continue to do so on the ground and prepare for the emergency response if necessary through collaboration with the two organizations in the Philippines.
