NewsTranscript
00:00First, let's talk about the situation in Aurora, where the typhoon Nika landfalled earlier at 8 in the morning.
00:07We have a reporter on the spot, Darlene Cai.
00:10Darlene?
00:14Connie, we can really feel it here in the house of Aurora Security, the strength of the typhoon Nika.
00:20We are still being swept away by the strong wind and rain, just like what you can see behind me.
00:26The tree fell, and you can see behind that tree, the other trees and plants, you can see the strength of the wind here.
00:38Since earlier today, there has been strong winds and rain, but it suddenly got stronger at 6 in the morning.
00:44There were occasions of zero visibility on the road.
00:48Several trees also fell.
00:50The roof of the covered court in the Security Central School collapsed.
00:55Some chairs and tables were also swept away by the wind.
00:58According to the Security Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office,
01:02they have been on alert since yesterday.
01:04They are being monitored by the Daluyong or Storm Surge because a large part of the security is by the sea.
01:12There are also low-lying areas that could be flooded.
01:14That's why a forced evacuation was carried out in most barangays.
01:18According to the last report of the MDRRMO, 812 families or 2,384 individuals have evacuated.
01:30Coney, it is now prohibited for sea vehicles to sail and tourism activities such as surfing,
01:38especially at surfing destinations, like Baler Aurora.
01:42It is now prohibited and all classes in the province are suspended.
01:48Yes, Darlene.
01:50We are now at signal number 4 in Dilasag.
01:53We also heard earlier in our interview with the MDRRMO in Dilasag that there are areas that need to be visited,
02:02but they can no longer go there because of the number of trees that fell.
02:06Darlene, we can see behind you that there are still trees there.
02:10Do you have any news on whether they have entered the areas that they will visit to carry out the forced evacuation?
02:23Just a while ago, Coney, I talked to the MDRRMO.
02:27They said that they can't go out or go around in some places in Dilasag
02:35where there are still trees and debris on the road because of the strong wind and rain that they are experiencing now.
02:44So maybe as of 30 minutes ago, they still can't go to those areas.
02:50Even if we go from here to Dilasag, we will not be able to enter easily
02:56because of the debris like fallen trees that are blocking the road.
03:01What about, Darlene, their line of communication?
03:04We can see that your signal is intermittent.
03:10But in those areas, do they no longer have electricity?
03:13And is their supply of food already pre-positioned in the areas of Dilasag?
03:24Coney, in the entire province of Aurora, including the town of Kasiguran and also Dilasag,
03:29all the rescue equipment and relief packs are already pre-positioned yesterday.
03:35So it is ready and they can use it and bring it to the affected areas.
03:42But the communication line is really difficult.
03:45Even here in the town of Kasiguran, there are only a few places that have signal.
03:49And it is intermittent.
03:51And sometimes it really disappears.
03:52That's why the communication line here is difficult, Coney.
03:55Take care, Darlene. And thank you for your update.
