00:00 For an updated situation in Cagayan, which was hit by a tornado, we will now call on the provincial disaster risk reduction and management office head of Cagayan, Roweli Rapsing.
00:11 Good morning, Rapsing.
00:13 Good morning, sir Ivan and to all the listeners. What's the situation in Cagayan?
00:22 It stopped raining heavily last night at 6pm. The winds are blowing. Now, our sky is getting brighter.
00:44 So, you haven't experienced heavy rain and wind in the whole of Magdamag?
00:48 Yes, sir.
00:49 That's good news. How are the evacuees? Are their provisions, relief packs and all their necessities sufficient?
00:58 Yes. Until now, our evacuees are still in evacuation centers. If the sun shines, we will send them home.
01:13 They are in the care of their local government units that provide food.
01:22 Are there any injured or missing?
01:26 We have no missing or injuries or casualties, sir Ivan.
01:33 Okay. What about the supply of electricity? I understand there are 13 towns that lost electricity yesterday.
01:40 Yes, sir Ivan. We had a power interruption on the afternoon of Saturday.
01:49 Last night at 6pm, the 13 affected municipalities were reenergized.
02:02 All right. So for now, while we're talking, there are no towns that are still experiencing brownout?
02:08 Yes, sir.
02:10 What about the roads? Are there any damaged roads?
02:14 So far, all roads and bridges are passable. There are no damages.
02:22 There are only municipal and barangay roads that are passable at this moment.
02:30 Are there any flooded areas?
02:35 Yes, sir. We have 14 municipalities that are flooded.
02:45 How deep is the flood?
02:50 It did not go up, sir Ivan. It was impounded. The reason is poor drainage system.
03:01 Because of the sudden strong flow of water, the water was saved and there's no way out.
03:10 Okay. It looks like it's okay. God's mercy. It looks like we're not in a bad situation.
03:17 But maybe you have someone you want to call who is in need of residents of Cagayan right now.
03:22 Yes. We're not out of the woods yet.
03:27 To our fellowmen in Cagayan, we will still monitor the tributaries of Cagayan River.
03:37 Although Cagayan River has moderate or gradual rise in water,
03:46 but the tributaries of Cagayan River, like the second one, Dumon and Chico River, are still swelling. All municipalities are still flooded.
04:08 The overflow bridge is still not passed. So maybe this rise will continue.
04:18 Our fellowmen in Riverside, you will go there. Your barangay officials will go there for your safety.
04:28 Thank you very much. Please continue to be careful.
04:31 PDR MO Head Rueli Rapsing, thank you.
