Quezon City evacuates over 25K due to Typhoon Carina

Over 25,000 individuals in Quezon City are currently staying in evacuation centers due to flooding and heavy rainfall caused by Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon.

The city government has designated evacuation sites for around 8,580 families in areas at risk of flooding or landslides, as announced on their Facebook page on Wednesday.

Torrential rains have affected a total of 82 barangays, prompting the activation of 157 evacuation centers across Quezon City.

Several major roads and areas are under above-waist-deep floodwaters and are not passable to vehicles, while others remain passable but are submerged up to knee or waist level.

Residents are advised to call the Quezon City Helpline at 122 or the Emergency Operations Center for assistance during emergencies.
