Mandalay disaster response team to work with other groups in the north
The Mandalay Disaster Response Team has joined forces with other charitable groups in northern Myanmar to strengthen its ability to respond to emergencies in the region and neighbouring areas.
The organisation was formed in 2016 with members of more than 20 charitable groups to assist people displaced by floods, earthquakes, fires and other calamities.
U Than Tun Myint, chair of the team, said that by working with other groups they would be able to respond more quickly and effectively in emergencies.
“Our team is not big enough. By cooperating with other groups, rescues can be carried out more quickly using vehicles from other teams,” he said. “Together, we can carry out a coordinated response rather than going our separate ways.”
