NDRRMC raises ‘red alert’

THE National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) raised a red alert in parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila, following the heavy rains and flooding brought by the southwest monsoon.

In a post on its Twitter account, the NDRRMC said a red alert meant that personell in operations would be on duty 24/7. It also means closer coordination among government agencies concerned.

These include the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration; Department of Social Welfare and Development; Department of Health; Department of Public Works and Highways; Department of Education; Department of the Interior and Local Government; and Department of Agriculture.
