00:00The pre-emptive evacuation of the Cordillera Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Act will now take place.
00:05Particularly for those who live in dangerous areas,
00:09it is part of the preparation for the possible effects of the emergency.
00:13Debbie Gacinga of PIA in Balitang Pambansang.
00:18The Cordillera Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Punishment Council has ordered
00:23all local DRRM councils to implement the pre-emptive evacuation
00:28especially for those who live in dangerous areas
00:31as part of the preparation for the possible effects of the emergency.
00:34The council has also given its consent to the DILG's order
00:38to implement the forced evacuation in areas that are high risk of flooding,
00:43landslides, and other dangers.
00:46I urge the local chief executives
00:49to lead in the implementation of preparedness and response readiness activities
00:53in their respective localities.
00:56Remember that DRRM and public safety is our collective responsibility.
01:01Let us all help each other.
01:03At the same time, the DSWD is ensuring that the government is ready
01:08to provide immediate assistance to those affected by the flood.
01:12The agency has called for immediate evacuation if necessary.
01:16If you think that it's already dangerous,
01:19that the situation is not getting better, that the water level is rising,
01:22before the water level rises, we should evacuate.
01:25That is why we have always prepared evacuation centers.
01:30Meanwhile, the Municipal DRRM Office of Sabangan Mountain Province
01:35is giving warnings and reminders in areas near rivers.
01:40The next incident of flooding was reported in the town
01:43as a result of more than two typhoons.
01:46Restraining activities within the river
01:51during this typhoon season.
01:58The agencies are hoping that the residents will comply
02:02with any warning issued by the LGUs or government agencies
02:07for their safety.
