00:00 The government of a wounded man and two other injured people
00:04 who are still being verified for the taste of the Egyptian typhoon
00:08 has reported that almost 50,000 families were affected by the typhoon.
00:13 Patrick De Jesus has more.
00:15 More than 44,000 families were affected by the taste of the Egyptian typhoon
00:22 with the effect of the typhoon.
00:24 This is equivalent to more than 180,000 individuals
00:30 based on the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council or NDRRMC.
00:36 2,000 families or almost 6,000 individuals are staying in 107 evacuation centers.
00:43 They have already received the necessary help of 1.4 million pesos
00:50 of family food packs and non-food items.
00:53 The cost of the infrastructure is more than 1.5 million pesos.
00:58 Earlier, the NDRRMC and the Task Force on Disaster Response held an emergency meeting
01:05 that was formed by various agencies of the government.
01:08 As of now, the overall effect of the typhoon has not yet been determined,
01:12 especially since the government prioritizes the help of the affected.
01:16 We cannot consider the minimal effect of this
01:20 because we have not yet assessed the overall effects of this.
01:26 So, what will happen next is that,
01:29 in addition to providing assistance to our displaced people
01:40 and ensuring that they are safe in their homes,
01:44 we will conduct rapid assessments of their areas to see what really happened.
01:52 You saw in the reports that it was far away,
01:54 but it was already prepared to go down.
01:56 So, that is the preparation here.
01:59 We saw the preparation and the actions that were taken here.
02:04 Another person who was killed by a flash flood in Cardona, Rizal.
02:08 While two were also injured and were victims of flash floods and soil erosion,
02:13 the NDRRMC continues to verify this with the help of LGUs.
02:19 The challenge is the timeliness of the reporting.
02:23 Because it is only natural that they understand.
02:27 They are giving their attention to their own needs
02:34 and after that, they will report.
02:38 The government is also preparing another low-pressure area
02:44 that could be affected by a flash flood next week,
02:47 according to the government's forecast.
02:49 Patrick De Asus for the Bayan.
