00:00Tropical cyclone wind signal has increased in some places in Cagayan due to the March storm.
00:05And the first situation in Cagayan, let's listen to the Provincial Risk Reduction and Management Office head, Uli Rapsing. Good morning.
00:16Good morning to you and to all your listeners.
00:20Mr. Rapsing, have we already carried out a preemptive evacuation in dangerous places?
00:28Sir Egan, last Monday, after a pre-disaster risk assessment with the Office of Civil Defense,
00:37the whole region was placed under a threat alert status and we are under the Charlie Emergency Response Protocol.
00:46Under that protocol, it's not preemptive, it's a forced evacuation.
00:52How many of our countrymen were forced evacuated there?
00:57It's ongoing since yesterday. We don't have any reports from the MDRMOs.
01:04How many were evacuated?
01:07How is the weather now?
01:11We're experiencing moderate to heavy rains. Although in the gustiness of the wind, we don't feel anything.
01:19Where are you keeping an eye on?
01:23According to the forecast, there are two scenarios.
01:29Due to the high pressure up there, there could be landfall mainland or the first scenario is just bye-bye to Babuyan Channel.
01:41Nevertheless, due to the high pressure, we will experience three secondary hazards of the tropical cyclone,
01:53flood, rain-induced landslide and storm surge.
01:57We are evacuating all susceptibles to those secondary hazards.
02:06Thank you very much, provincial risk reduction management office head Rueli Rapsing. Thank you.
02:14Thank you also.
