Closed roads. A landslide completely closed this road between Claveria and Sta. Praxedes towns in Cagayan province on Saturday, while the combined rains from storms Pepito and Quinta eroded this (internal) road also between the two cities, which the Cagelco Electric Cooperative and DPWH in District 2 are trying to repair. Meanwhile, to prepare for when “Quinta” hits Bicol on Sunday, members of the Philippine Coast Guard Deployable Response Group (DRG) prepare lifeboats and other equipment (also present). CAGELCO, DPWH, and PCG images The weather systems are expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over the island provinces that include the MIMAROPA region, the Bicol region, the Visayas, the Zamboanga Peninsula, the Bangsamoro region, northern Mindanao and Karaja, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA) said Its forecast 24 hours. Meanwhile, ahead of World Tsunami Day on November 5, Science and Technology Undersecretary Renato Solidum Jr. urged Local Government Units (LGUs) to plan and prepare for them. In a recorded report of the Ministry of Science and Technology broadcast on Friday afternoon, Solidem said the Philippines was vulnerable to tsunamis due to its archipelagic nature and had earthquake generators. He said, “Based on studies, there are approximately 10-14 million people living near the beaches that would be affected if a tsunami happened.” Weather turbulence is classified as a tropical depression like Quinta when winds of 61 kilometers per hour or less blow near the center, while a severe tropical storm like Pepito brings 81 to 117 kilometers per hour near the center. At 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, the Kenta Center was estimated to be 635 kilometers east of Juban, Sorsogon with maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center and gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, Bebeto was estimated outside the PAR at 860 km northwest of Luzon with maximum winds of 100 km / h near the center and gusts of up to 125 km / h. The forward system is also expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Pattanes and Cagayan, including the islands of Papuyan, Apayao and Ilocos Norte. Floods and landslides can also occur. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with scattered showers that may prevail over Metro Manila and the rest of the country due to local thunderstorms. Bajasa said Quinta will generally move from west to northwest or northwest on Saturday, and then head west from Sunday morning through Monday. Quinta was expected to make landfall over the Bicol region between Sunday evening and Monday morning, and then track west over southern Luzon on Monday. Sea travel will be fraught with dangers over the aforementioned areas, especially for small sea boats. Meanwhile, moderate to rough seas (1.5 to 2.5 meters) will prevail on the west coast of southern Palawan and the eastern coasts of central and southern Luzon. Solidum said that in the past 400 years, all of the tsunamis that have occurred in the country have been locally generated, as the public did not have time to prepare because this type of tsunami reaches shore immediately. He said the strongest occurred on August 17, 1976, during the 8.1-magnitude Morro Bay earthquake on the Richter scale, which killed nearly 8,000 people. The other type of tsunami or tsunami that is distant originating from a distant source will enable people to prepare for an hour to at least 26 hours before it reaches shore. Solidem emphasized that local authorities and the public need to prepare. One must remember the three signs of an approaching tsunami: “shook, fall, and roar”. This means a strong jolt or earthquake; A sudden drop of water may be noticed, and an unusual sound or noise will be heard. He said: “These observations are very useful because they will provide a warning at the local level.” LGUs are urged to download the HazardHunter app, as this would direct them around locations at risk of volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and other hazards. They need to find safe areas to put evacuation centers. The app will also guide them in the routes they must take to evacuation centers. The roads to be taken must be safe and not subject to landslides. Solidum added that the public should also prepare their travel bags for such events.
