CEBU CITY – After successfully securing ‘’Undas,’’ police remain on alert for typhoon ‘’Tino.’’
Police Capt. Charisma Gonzales, information officer of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), said the reactionary standby force deployed in various cemeteries on All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days are on heightened alert as part of the preparations against the ill-effects of the weather disturbance.
Gonzales said 278 police personnel have been pulled out from cemeteries and directed to report to the CCPO headquarters.
CCPO search and rescue equipment have been readied in coordination with the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), Gonzales said.
Gonzales added that CCPO have met CDRRMO as part of the heightened preparation.
“We identified flood and landslide-prone areas during the meeting. These areas will be closely monitored so that if necessary, quick action will be made,” Gonzales said.
Mayor Nestor Archival said the city was placed on red alert on Monday, Nov. 3.
Archival ordered all disaster response units, utilities, and essential departments to mobilize for immediate emergency operations.
“City Hall is open this morning, but after lunch, we’ll have another briefing. Based on my assessment, we might have a half-day work, but essential departments should still be there,” Archival said in a press briefing.
The mayor added that heavy equipment has been positioned in upland areas such as Barangays Sirao, Guba, and Budlaan.
The City Command Center will operate 24/7 and will be manned by the Visayan Electric Co. (VECO), the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD), the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to ensure coordinated response.
“The moment there are incidents, our teams will respond immediately. VECO and MCWD are here at the Command Center. MCWD said 60 percent of its water pumps already have a power supply. Establishments with billboards have also been ordered to take them down,” Archival said.
Tropical cyclone wind signal No. 3 remains raised over parts of Cebu.
Gov. Pamela Baricuatro issued an executive order (EO) suspending government work in Cebu from Nov. 3 to Nov. 4.
Essential offices were directed to form skeletal workforce or on-call deployment.
Baricuatro activated a special disaster preparedness plan for 11 localities in northern Cebu still reeling from the Sept. 30 earthquake.
The Provincial Engineering Office has deployed generators and clearing equipment while the Provincial Health Office mobilized emergency medical teams.
