00:00Residents who were affected by the typhoon Marse in Cagayan were evacuated again because of the typhoon Ophel.
00:08The mobile command center of DSWD is a big help in delivering real-time reports on the effects of the typhoon.
00:14This is the news of Mayor Joy Javier of the PIA.
00:18The typhoon Ophel became even more powerful as a super-typhoon
00:23as it hit the northern part of Luzon,
00:27as a reason for the pre-emptive evacuation of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council in Cagayan.
00:35According to DOST Pag-asa Weather Specialist Romeo Ganal Jr.,
00:39the typhoon is expected to bring strong winds and rain tonight,
00:44which could lead to widespread flooding.
00:47If we have significant rains this afternoon,
00:51the water level in the middle and lower Cagayan River will gradually rise again.
00:57There are still places that remain submerged in floodwaters
01:01because of the recent typhoons,
01:03which is why it is important to remind residents to stay in evacuation centers or safe places to avoid flooding.
01:12Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development continues to distribute relief goods
01:18to families affected by the next typhoon.
01:22Family food packs were successfully delivered yesterday
01:26to Babuyan-Claro Island, Calayan Island, and Fuga Island.
01:30In order to provide faster communication to those affected by the typhoon,
01:37the DSWD Mobile Command Center is deployed in the affected area of Cagayan.
01:43According to Director Lucia Alan,
01:45the mobile command center is of great help,
01:48especially if the telecommunication signal and connection are lost.
01:52The NGU used this.
01:56That's where they reported, and that's where the residents charged.
02:01For now, all residents are being careful,
02:05especially those who are in the area affected by the Marche typhoon
02:09because the typhoon hit the same area.
02:12Local officials are hoping that the typhoon will only reach the surrounding areas.
