00:00Kagen Valley DRRMC ordered the implementation of pre-emptive evacuation
00:06in flood-prone and landslide-prone areas due to the Marseille storm.
00:11Oliver Bacay of the Philippine Information Agency has news for the country.
00:16Because of the following storms that passed through Northern Luzon,
00:23the land is already very soft,
00:25which can cause landslides and quickly raise the water level in the rivers.
00:30Because of this, the Regional Disaster Reduction and Management Council issued an order
00:36to all local DRRMC to carry out pre-emptive evacuation,
00:41especially in the areas near Kagen River and in flood-prone areas,
00:45as well as in mountainous areas.
00:47We always remind our local counterparts,
00:51the different local DRRMOs,
00:53to prioritize pre-emptive evacuation,
00:57especially when the rain and wind of the Marseille storm is strong.
01:03At the moment, the areas passed by Christine, Julian, and Leon are being closely monitored
01:09because of the Marseille storm.
01:12The town of Calayan in Cagayan and the coastal communities in Isabela
01:16and the other parts of Cagayan province are experiencing
01:20landslides until the rain and wind are strong.
01:24We have to be careful,
01:26especially when the wind is strong.
01:28Because of this, all the DRRMOs have to be careful.
01:35Behind me is Pinakanawan River,
01:38one of the tributaries of Cagayan River.
01:41It is being monitored at the moment
01:43because if it floods,
01:45many areas here in Tuguegarao and other parts of Cagayan
01:48will be flooded.
