00:00A pre-emptive evacuation has been carried out in some places in Aurora province because of the Nica typhoon.
00:05Live from Kasiguran, Aurora, the first news is from Darlene Cai.
00:10Darlene.
00:15Igan, at the moment, Kasiguran, Aurora is being hit by strong winds and rain,
00:20where the signal number four is now high.
00:23Just yesterday, before the Nica typhoon hit, the entire province of Aurora was already on a red alert.
00:29All classes were suspended, including government work,
00:33and many residents were evacuated.
00:36Rescue equipment and relief packs were prepared here.
00:42Some fishermen have already raised their boats in Kasiguran, Aurora as part of their preparation for the Nica typhoon.
00:48One of the things that the typhoon is warning is that the province of Aurora, particularly Kasiguran,
00:53is being alerted by the residents.
00:56Some boats from Isabela were temporarily stranded in Kasiguran port.
01:00Kasiguran was hit by strong winds yesterday.
01:03The light rain was also heavy.
01:05The entire province was already on a red alert as part of their preparation for the possible Nica typhoon.
01:12Just yesterday, the provincial government announced that all classes will be suspended
01:17until the government enters the entire province of Aurora.
01:21Based on the track of hope, the northern part of Aurora, Dikadio, Dilasag, Kasiguran, and Dilalungan,
01:32those three areas, those three municipalities, are our priority.
01:37Our countrymen are at high risk.
01:45Because the seven out of eight municipalities of Aurora are by the sea,
01:49they are being monitored by storm surge.
01:52But they are still not ignoring the possibility of landslides and floods in the lower areas.
01:58That's why pre-emptive evacuations have already been carried out in some areas, particularly here in Kasiguran.
02:03Our equipment, especially those on National Road, Provincial Road, Municipal Road,
02:11are already pre-positioned in case of a landslide.
02:18Also, we have already monitored speedboats in the sea
02:25so that in case of landslides, we will not let them pass.
02:39We are now standing in Kasiguran Central School.
02:43We can feel the strong winds and rain.
02:47The iron in the covered court is already cracking.
02:51Some tables have already fallen.
02:53It is prohibited to swim in the entire province of Aurora.
02:57All tourism activities are also prohibited, especially surfing in the town of Baler, a well-known surfing destination.
03:07Darlene, did you catch any fish in Aurora?
03:10Igan, I just talked to the MDRRMO office of Kasiguran.
03:20As of 6 a.m., they haven't been notified of any landslides.
03:24But it is possible that it will change based on the strong winds and rain that we are experiencing here.
03:30The MDRRMO personnel are continuously moving around.
03:37Darlene, how many evacuees have you seen in Kasiguran?
03:48There are families in different evacuation centers in Kasiguran.
03:52But as I said, it is possible that it will increase and the situation will change based on the strong winds and rain that we are experiencing here.
04:01Thank you very much and take care, Darlene Kai.
