Philippines disaster response teams remain committed despite typhoon fatigue

The Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) in the Philippines confirmed that its disaster response teams will continue their work despite experiencing "typhoon fatigue" from recent storms. Many officials are reportedly unwell, prompting a rotation system to manage workloads. Civil Defense Administrator Ariel Nepomuceno stated that assistance efforts are ongoing, with responders being relocated to areas in need. Medical personnel have been deployed to monitor the health of disaster management staff. The country has faced six significant weather disturbances in the past month, including Super Typhoon Ofel and Typhoon Pepito. These storms have led to increased demands on disaster response teams across the nation.
