The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) of Batangas issued a memo regarding preparedness/response for Typhoon ‘Yolanda’.
The typhoon, with the international name ‘Haiyan’, is expected to make landfall on Friday, November 8, over Eastern Visayas and Southern Bicol. PAGASA had announced storm signals in the affected provinces which consequently raised red alerts status.
In a report via newsinfo.inquirer.net, Typhoon ‘Yolanda’, which is now inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), is said to be “the most powerful tropical cyclone of 2013 anywhere on earth” according to US-based, The Weather Channel.
According to reports, Southern Luzon will also be affected while Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.
‘Yolanda’, which is considered a super typhoon is expected to stay inside PAR until early Sunday.
Batangas PDRRMC calls for everyone to “untiringly aim for ZERO casualty” on occurrences of disaster and emergency.
