LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Gov. Ramon Guico III has tasked the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) to closely coordinate with local government units (LGUs) and implement preemptive evacuation in coastal, flood-prone, and landslide-prone areas.
“If kailangan ng preemptive evacuation, dapat magawa na ng mga LGU kasi mahalaga ang kaligtasan, ang buhay ng tao ang mahalaga dito sa mga ganito kalalaking (If there is the need for preemptive evacuation, it should be done immediately by the LGUs because safety is important, the lives of people are important during) disasters," Guico said in a statement on Saturday.
Residents in coastal municipalities and fisherfolk were advised to avoid setting sail since high waves are expected due to typhoon ‘’Uwan.’’
The PDRRMO is monitoring the towns of San Fabian, Burgos, San Nicolas, Tayug, and Bugallon, where members of water search and rescue teams and rescue equipment are prepositioned.
The Provincial Social Welfare Office ensured there are enough food packs in case LGUs would need augmentation in evacuation centers.
Guico suspended classes on all levels in public and private schools, as well as work in government offices, except those in frontline services, on Nov. 10.
During the pre-disaster risk assessment meeting on Saturday, the governor checked on rescue assets, like rubber boats, ambulance, and dump trucks, among others, and the readiness of trained rescue personnel.
Meanwhile, the Lingayen municipal government will implement temporary prohibition on the sale, distribution and consumption of alcoholic beverages in all public places, and will prohibit swimming, fishing, boating, and other water-related activities, on Sunday and Monday.
PRO-3
Police Regional Office-3 Director Police Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio I. Peñones Jr. inspected disaster response equipment for Uwan on Saturday at the PRO-3 parade grounds in Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga.
This was part of their proactive preparedness measures for Uwan and ensure that all search and rescue (SAR) tools, mobility assets, and communication systems are operational and ready for deployment.
“Preparedness is not just a routine. It is part of our service to the people,” said Peñones. “Every piece of equipment represents our commitment to respond swiftly and effectively, especially when lives are at stake.”
Police chiefs were ordered to coordinate with their Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices, conduct local inspections, and ensure that all response units are in a state of readiness and deployability.
He reminded them to activate their Risk Reduction Management Task Groups and ensure the safety of their families.
PRO-3 is monitoring developments and stands ready to augment resources when needed.
Coast Guard
The Philippine Coast Guard District Northwestern Luzon has deployed its Disaster Response Groups in Region I (Ilocos) as part of their proactive disaster preparedness for Uwan.
The PCG has conducted pre-deployment briefings, equipment inspections, and coordinated with local government units (LGUs) and other response agencies to strengthen inter-agency cooperation.
All sea travel within and transiting the coastal waters of La Union, Pangasinan, Ilocos Sur, and Ilocos Norte was suspeded due to Uwan.
The PCG reminded the people to stay vigilant and advised vessels, fishermen, and coastal communities to refrain from any sea-related activities until further notice.
