COMPOSTELA VALLEY PROVINCE (Jan. 23)-----
The rain has stopped but the Provincial, Municipal, and Barangay Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Councils remain ready with their respective rescue teams and
keep on watch for any sudden change of the weather condition.
There were family evacuees in the
province as rains poured in since Friday evening (January 18). Per flooding incident official report issued
by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) as of
8:00 a.m. of January 21, 2013, there were 2,143 families who vacated for safety
to the identified evacuation centers. As
of 8:00 a.m. of January 22, the number of families became 441. As the water subsides, those residents of flooded
areas which are accessible already have started to go home.
Governor Arturo T. Uy being the
Chairman of the PDRRM Council earlier issued an order for the suspension of
classes in schools for the safety of the students and teachers considering the flood
risks. But today, classes have resumed already.
PDRRM Officer Raul Villocino said that
with the experienced weather disturbance, the people are advised to stay alert
and abide to any issued public warnings and safety measures implemented by the
local authorities.
