BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Benjamin Magalong has placed the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on alert for super typhoon “Pepito.”
"The typhoon may hit us at night time, so we must be ready to respond to emergency calls with appropriate equipment such as spotlights and others," Magalong, CDRRMC head, said.
Magalong ordered them to avoid throwing garbage from Sunday to Monday to prevent them from being washed away and blocking drainage systems. "Barangays should immediately contact our CDRRM in case they lack appropriate equipment and supplies needed to respond to disasters."
