Preemptive evacuation ordered in 8 regions ahead of Pepito
Preemptive evacuations have been ordered in eight regions of the Philippines as Tropical Storm Man-yi, set to be named Pepito upon entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), approaches.
The directive was issued by the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) on Thursday, November 14, 2024, with evacuations scheduled to begin on November 15.
Regions 1, 2, 3, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, 5, 6, and 7 are included in the preemptive evacuation order.
This measure aims to provide sufficient time for preparation before the tropical storm makes landfall.
Local government units and relevant agencies are tasked with ensuring evacuation centers are ready and local response units are prepared to support the evacuations.
Tropical Storm Man-yi is forecast to enter the PAR on Thursday night and is expected to affect a significant portion of Luzon over the weekend.
OCD regional offices are also instructed to replenish and preposition necessary resources during this preparation period.
