People come to Twitter to learn about news and events unfolding in real time. Whether it’s breaking news, a traffic tailback in the city, or the latest score in a football match, Twitter is the go-to place to find out #WhatsHappening real time. In support of this mission to provide real-time information, Twitter launched a dedicated search prompt to help people stay updated with the latest information from authoritative sources around disaster relief and preparedness efforts in the Philippines. The country is subject to the annual and seasonal influences of monsoons and tropical storms. Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and more are highly prevalent in the Philippines. In an expansion of Twitter’s Search Prompt— which was specifically put in place for the public to find clear, credible information focusing on disaster preparedness and emergencies—Twitter has partnered with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council or NDRRMC (@NDRRMC_OpCen), the Philippine Red Cross (@philredcross), as well as other government agencies, NGOs and media to expand its efforts towards handling disaster situations. The search prompt will amplify critical information and promote relief efforts either during or after disasters or emergencies by referring users to credible and reputable government agencies, NGOs, and media providing updated information crisis response and disaster emergency. It is available on iOS, Android, and on mobile.twitter.com in the Philippines, in both Tagalog and English languages.
