As Tropical Storm Auring nears Cebu and the Visayas, local government units are advised to refer to the geohazard maps to effectively map out contingency measures against the first weather disturbance to enter the country.
The LGUs already have a copy of the map since 2015, and MGB-7 said it is continually conducting an update on the vulnerability and risk assessment related to geohazard mapping. “Our ultimate goal is zero casualty. The geohazard maps can greatly help and guide our officials to conduct appropriate precautionary measures to achieve that,” Armando L. Malicse, OIC-Regional Director MGB-7 said.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 has been raised in the Visayas as around 30 to 60 kilometers per hour of wind is expected in the next 36 hours.
