2,000 families in Catanduanes face evacuation due to Ulysses
More than 2,000 families in Catanduanes were ordered to immediately evacuate their residences in preparation for Tropical Storm Ulysses.
The evacuation is necessary as the province is still recovering from Super Typhoon Rolly, which damaged many homes and temporary shelters.
Governor Joseph Cua stated that 65% of houses made of light materials were destroyed, and 20% of bigger houses also sustained damage.
Local authorities are facing a lack of evacuation centers because many shelters were destroyed by Rolly.
Schools are being utilized as evacuation centers, despite some having sustained damage from the previous typhoon.
Six Catanduanes locals died due to Rolly, while four others were injured.
PAGASA forecasts that Ulysses will make landfall in the Bicol region-Quezon area on Thursday.
