CAVITE CITY – The local government unit here preemptively evacuated 3,102 individuals on Sunday, Sept. 25, amid the onslaught of Typhoon Karding.
The 882 evacuated families were sheltered in 14 schools, chapels, and halls which were being used as evacuation centers, Mayor Denver Chua told the Manila Bulletin in a text message on Monday, Sept. 26.
The evacuees were given hot meals as they waited for the typhoon to pass.
