NDRRMC validating 3 casualties due to ST 'Egay'; another weather disturbance being monitored

Published Jul 26, 2023 07:23 am
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) is validating reports about three reported casualties due to the onslaught of Super Typhoon “Egay”. Based on the latest data from the NDRRMC, one person reportedly died and one was injured due to a flashflood in Cardona, Rizal; while another person was hurt after getting hit by falling rocks after a soil erosion in Nabas, Aklan. “Hindi pa validated ‘yung death (The death [report] is yet to be validated), it is still subject to validation. We cannot assess kung gaano tayo nakapaghanda nang lubusan hanggat hindi matapos po itong emergency (We cannot assess the impact of our preparation until this emergency is over),” said Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro during an emergency meeting of the NDRRMC at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.
The Defense chief said the NDRRMC will prioritize rapid response to serve the displaced individuals, ensure that basic services are restored “as soon as possible,” and keep the public safe from harm. After this, Teodoro said the NDRRMC will conduct a rapid assessment to determine the extent of damage caused by Egay. A total of 44,356 families composed of 180,439 individuals were affected by Egay in 261 barangays in Ilocos (Region 1), Central Luzon (Region 3), Calabarzon (Region 4A), Mimaropa (Region 4B), Bicol (Region 5), Western Visayas (Region 6), Northern Mindanao (region 10), and Soccsksargen (Region 12). Of those affected, a total of 2,324 families or 8,917 individuals were brought to 107 evacuation centers. There were 49 houses that were partially damaged while eight other homes were totally destroyed by Egay in Regions 1, Calabarzon, 6, 10, and 12. “Naghahanda din po kami sa posibleng pagtama ng isang low pressure area na nasa ibaba po ng ating bansa. Mamanmanan po ng PAGASA [Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration] ang track nito (We are also preparing for the possible impact of a low pressure area down south of our country. PAGASA will monitor its track),” Teodoro said. Meanwhile, Teodoro assured that there are enough food, water, and other basic necessities for all the affected residents. The NDRRMC said a total of P1,049,584 worth of relief assistance has been provided to the typhoon victims.
