31 M exposed to 'Rolly' -- NDRRMC
An estimated 19.8 million to 31.9 million individuals were exposed to super typhoon "Rolly" as it lashed Luzon.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) stated these individuals are from various regions including NCR, CAR, and Regions 1 through 9.
NDRRMC Executive Director Ricardo Jalad explained the exposed population depends on whether they are within a 60-kilometer or 120-kilometer diameter of the typhoon.
Of the exposed population, approximately 1.3 million families within the 60 km diameter and 2.4 million families within the 120 km diameter are classified as poor.
Around 105,000 to 221,000 houses made of light materials are at risk of being wiped out.
As of Sunday, a total of 96,543 families, or 346,993 individuals, have been preemptively evacuated across various regions.
Jalad also apologized for a previous discrepancy regarding the number of evacuated individuals in Bicol.
