00:00Meanwhile, for an update on the situation in Cagayan province that was hit by a storm surge after the typhoon León,
00:06we have with us the head of the Cagayan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Ruli Rapsing.
00:12Good morning to all of you. This is Maris. We are live on Unang Balita.
00:16Good morning, Ma'am Maris, and to all of you viewers.
00:20First of all, how are you there in Cagayan? Is the wind, rain, and thunderstorm still strong?
00:26Ma'am Maris, it's been sunny for two days and clear skies.
00:32Have we reported any injured or missing people in the past few days, sir?
00:38No reports of casualties, Ma'am Maris.
00:41Good to know that.
00:42Although there's one missing.
00:44So no one is missing, at least all of them are in their respective families?
00:54Yes.
00:56How many have been damaged or lost their homes in the storm surge?
00:59I know we're still going through some, but do we have any initial signs?
01:05We still don't have any reports of the local DRIMOS of Nunzaga and Santa Ana, Ma'am Maris.
01:10Are there any that need to be evacuated?
01:14We evacuated more than 8,000 individuals, Ma'am Maris.
01:20Where are they now?
01:22Evacuation centers, barangays, and local government of Nunzaga and Santa Ana.
01:27Are there any that still need to be supplied?
01:31There are still supplies. The stockpile of barangays and local government.
01:36How about the areas where the rescue team cannot reach?
01:41There are no isolated areas.
01:44Good to know that.
01:45Are there areas where there's no electricity, water, and signal?
01:49There was a power interruption on Wednesday, but it was restored immediately after three hours.
01:58We're being shown that there are areas near the sea that were damaged by the storm,
02:06probably because of the strong winds.
02:11Do we have any signs?
02:16So far, the rapid damage assessment is ongoing.
02:21What are the needs of the residents now?
02:25We're coming up with financial assistance for them, Ma'am Maris, but that would depend on the damage assessment.
02:36By when do we expect to get those assessments?
02:40At the most, it would be until tomorrow.
02:43We'll keep you updated. Thank you very much, PDRRMO Head Ruli Rapsing.
02:50Thank you very much.
