00:00Let's update on the situation in the province of Cagayan where several places in the province have raised the signal number 3 and 4.
00:06Let's talk to Cagayan PDRNMO Head, Roweli Rapsing.
00:10Thank you for inviting us here for Panayam in Balitang Hali.
00:15Good morning, sir Rafi and to all the viewers of your program.
00:20How is the weather in Cagayan right now?
00:23Well, the northern portion has raised the signal number 4.
00:29And right now, our coastal municipalities are experiencing gusts of more than 180 kilometers per hour wind.
00:40And there is a light rain to moderate rain.
00:45That's a bit strong.
00:46Has the storm surge been observed in the coastal areas?
00:51Yes, the water levels in our coastal municipalities are increasing, especially in Santa Ana and Gusaga.
00:59And somehow, since yesterday, our evacuation efforts were successful and the evacuees are now in a safe place.
01:09How many families were saved from your pre-emptive evacuation?
01:14Since yesterday, out of 29 towns, 21 municipalities reached us with their initial report.
01:28And this is in 156 barangays.
01:33And almost 18,000 individuals were saved, more than 5,000 families.
01:42What are the areas that you are monitoring in the province?
01:47Well, we're actually monitoring the entire province, sir Rafi.
01:51Because there are three secondary hazards brought by this typhoon Marsesh.
01:59These are floods, rain-induced landslides, and the storm surge.
02:06And the province is highly susceptible to floods and rain-induced landslides and storm surge as well.
02:17How is your water supply, food, and other necessities?
02:20Especially since this is the second typhoon that you've experienced in Cagayan.
02:25That's true.
02:27Right after the pre-disaster risk assessment of the Office of Civil Defense on Monday,
02:33we immediately advised all MDRMOs to conduct their PIDRA and assess their stockpile,
02:45their evacuation sites and evacuation processes.
02:51So there are no barangays or local government units that have requested the provincial government
03:00in replenishing their stockpile.
03:03Okay.
03:03Are the damaged roads affected by the typhoon Marsesh?
03:13Not really, sir Rafi.
03:14Because of the reported damages to the roads, those are just barangay roads.
03:21Okay.
03:22Still, all of our major roads and bridges are passable.
03:26What's good, if I may say so,
03:29is that because of the typhoon, I'm sure your residents immediately responded to your call for evacuation.
03:37Yes, sir.
03:37Because of the bad times that are happening in our province,
03:42our constituents are used to being evacuated and brought to evacuation centers.
03:49And we are thankful to the government for deploying our uniformed personnel to all of the towns in our province.
04:00Okay.
04:00Thank you very much.
04:01We will continue to monitor the situation in your area.
04:05Thank you very much.
04:07Thank you very much, sir Rafi, and to all of our viewers.
04:10Rueli Rapsing of Kagayan PDRRMO.
