00:00And because of the typhoon Christine, the Philippine authorities tried again,

00:04but aside from that, they questioned how well we are prepared for such incidents.

00:09That is what Professor Antonio Contreras will discuss in Punto de Vista, Professor.

00:18Thank you very much and good morning.

00:21How should we be prepared for what happened in this typhoon?

00:28For the incidents where we don't know how strong the rain will be.

00:33You know, it was a complicated question before,

00:36but especially now that the effects of climate change are getting worse,

00:40and the rains are getting stronger and stronger,

00:43and the typhoons are also getting stronger and stronger.

00:46How should we be prepared?

00:48Everyone should be prepared for this.

00:50And along with being prepared,

00:52there should be awareness that the weather is changing.

00:57And we should be listening to science here,

01:00not just whatever is being said.

01:02The government should recalibrate the responses.

01:08The formulas we used in the past should be re-examined.

01:14Because as we can see now,

01:16it is really weak if we look at the typhoon Christine,

01:20if we look at the wind.

01:22But the rain is not expected.

01:25There are many places in Bicol that used to say that they were not flooded.

01:29But now it is flooded, like Batangas and Lipa City.

01:32Before, the area was not flooded, but now it is flooded.

01:35So how should we be prepared for this?

01:38The typhoon is very weak, but the rain is strong.

01:43And many are wondering,

01:45the center of the typhoon is in Isabela,

01:49but the wind is very strong in Laguna.

01:53The circulation of the typhoon is very wide.

01:55So we should not be prepared for what is already done.

01:59It is not enough to just save water,

02:02food, and stay at home.

02:06You don't know if your house will drown in the water.

02:09Maybe.

02:10The government should look at the prepositioning of relief goods.

02:17Where will you put it?

02:19Maybe you will put it in places that will also flood.

02:22Where will you relocate the evacuees?

02:25Maybe the evacuation center will also flood.

02:28But on the other hand, we should always think.

02:31Let's listen to science.

02:34Let's not be influenced by posts on the internet

02:38that sometimes add to the anxiety of people who are not based on science.

02:43Because this has guidance.

02:46Climate change has science.

02:48Flooding has science.

02:51After all of this,

02:54we need to go back to our preparations.

02:59Why are we doing this?

03:01Let's prepare a new book,

03:04a manual,

03:05or any guidance

03:07on how to prepare for such calamities.

03:14We are experiencing the effects of climate change.

03:17That is my point of view for today.

03:21Good morning and thank you very much.

03:24Thank you very much, Professor Antonio Contreras.
