NDRRMC deploys rescue teams amid Ulysses floods

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) is responding to calls for rescue amid floods caused by Typhoon Ulysses.

Rescue teams with boats have been deployed in areas like Rodriguez, Rizal where people are stranded on rooftops.

Preemptive evacuations are ongoing in the Bicol Region and Quezon due to heavy rains and potential lahar flows.

NDRRMC has advised local government units (LGUs) in Bicol to boost information dissemination among residents ahead of Ulysses' landfall, especially in areas without network signals.

Residents on Ulysses' path are advised to take precautions, particularly those living in flood-prone and landslide-prone areas.
