00:00While the Batanes is preparing for the possible effects of the typhoon Marse,
00:04we will talk to Cesar Roldan S. Decol of the Batanes Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
00:11Good morning to you, Gen. S. Decol. This is Maryse, we are live on Unang Balita.
00:19Good morning, Maryse. Good morning to all of our viewers.
00:23Sir, it is expected that the typhoon Marse will hit almost the same places as the typhoon León.
00:29How is your preparation for the Batanes, especially that you are just waking up from the typhoon León?
00:37Yes. Yesterday, we conducted a serious risk assessment and we mentioned some places that need to be evacuated,
00:49that need to be preempted for evacuation because the first typhoon almost saturated the land and landslides, especially on the side roads.
01:02We are not expecting that there will be a first typhoon because our creeks are clean.
01:08However, we are expecting that if they are evacuated for safety, they will be needed.
01:15So I heard it right, it is a forced evacuation. Are you starting it now?
01:21Where will the residents and residents who will be evacuated stay?
01:26Yes, if they need to be evacuated. But we will allow them to preempt this day because the wind is strong.
01:34Our evacuation center in Barangay and Municipality in the province is open and ready for them.
01:42How is the supply of food and water for the residents?
01:47As of now, our supply of food and water is almost full.
01:53Although our water depends on electricity, but now the electricity of every municipality is almost back.
02:04The 5,500-pound food box brought by the Philippine Coast Guard last Sunday was delivered to our villages.
02:15Do you need additional assistance? Do you need a call from the national government?
02:22As of now, we are waiting for the national government to provide shelter assistance.
02:29At the moment, we are in charge of the main pier to bring them here.
02:36If there is anyone who can help us here, thank you very much.
02:41Because that is an addition for us here in Batanes.
02:45Alright, we are with you in prayer. Take care.
02:48And thank you very much, Cesar Aldan Esdekol of Batanes PDRRMO.
