DAVAO CITY – The Department of Social Welfare and Development–11 reported that 85,606 families or 302,647 individuals have been affected by the shear line in the Davao region.
In a situational report on Feb. 23, the agency said flooding began on Feb. 19, following continuous moderate to heavy rainfall that caused rivers and creeks to swell, inundating low-lying, flood-prone communities.
The DSWD noted that 191 barangays in 28 cities and municipalities were affected by flooding.
Of the total affected population, 15,416 families, or 61,780 persons, remain displaced.
The DSWD said that 283 families (1,159 individuals) are currently staying in eight evacuation centers, while 15,133 families (60,621 individuals) are temporarily sheltering outside evacuation centers.
Davao del Norte had 60,142 affected families (215,223 individuals), followed by Davao de Oro with 22,428 families (73,526 individuals), and Davao Oriental with 3,036 families (13,898 individuals).
DSWD documented 23 damaged houses, 15 totally and eight partially damaged. Davao Oriental recorded 15 damaged houses, Davao de Oro had six, and Davao del Norte had two.
The agency said P7.33 million in humanitarian assistance have been provided to affected families, including support from local government units. Augmentation efforts are ongoing, with family food packs and non-food items distributed to affected local government units.
They conducted child-friendly activities in an evacuation center in Monkayo town, Davao de Oro and provided P30,000 in financial assistance to bereaved families in Barangay Rizal in Monkayo, as part of their crisis intervention program.
DSWD said monitoring and assessment operations are ongoing in coordination with local government units, disaster risk reduction and management offices, and social welfare offices to address the needs of affected and displaced families.
The 10th Infantry Division conducted an aerial survey over the weekend as part of their Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis in Davao de Oro.
10th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Alvin Luzon said the inspection was conducted in coordination with the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Davao de Oro.
The survey covered parts of Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte. It assessed flooded areas, infrastructure, landslide-prone sites, riverbanks, and other rain-related hazards to expedite humanitarian assistance with LGUs and partner agencies.
Brig. Gen. Vince James Bantilan, commander of the 1001st Infantry Brigade, joined Davao de Oro Gov. Raul Mabanglo during the survey to ensure an accurate assessment and immediate response for affected communities.
Luzon said the proactive aerial assessment allowed swift resource allocation and focused response efforts in the hardest-hit areas. He added that they remain ready to support affected communities.
