BACOLOD CITY – The Department of Social Services and Development (DSSD) reported that 806 families or 3,226 individuals in 22 barangays in this highly-urbanized city were displaced by super typhoon “Uwan.”
Barangay Banago had 239 families, followed by Barangay Singcang-Airport with 126, 103 in Barangay 1; 95 in Barangay Tangub; one each in Barangays 14, 4, Sum-ag, and 27; 10 in Barangay Aliji; 21 in Barangay Pahanocoy; seven each in Barangays 3, 18, and 8; 28 in Barangay 2; 36 in Barangay 13; 17 in Barangay 14; four in Barangay Bata; 30 in Barangay 26; 16 in Barangay 36; 11 in Barangay Taculing; 33 in Barangay Villamonte, and 12 in Barangay 10.
Most of them residing near shorelines and coastal areas were subjected to preemptive evacuation on Sunday night, Nov. 9, as heavy rains, strong winds, and high tide were felt in this city.
These families temporarily stayed in evacuation centers here until they were allowed to return home.
“We are grateful for the discipline and vigilance shown by the residents throughout this period, especially in their adherence to preemptive evacuation protocols,” Mayor Greg Gasataya said.
Almost 150 passengers were stranded at the Bredco port as of Monday morning, Nov. 10, and temporarily staying in an evacuation center.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration has lifted the tropical cyclone wind signal for this city as Uwan continues to weaken, according to Gasataya.
Meanwhile, 48,290 houses were damaged by Tino in Negros Occidental.
The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) reported that 6,855 were totally and 41,435 were partially damaged in 16 local government units (LGUs).
