The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration has welcomed the creation of a “dam oversight committee,” adding that protocols on dam operations in the country need

to be reviewed and updated.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council announced on Thursday that a committee will be set up to oversee the state weather bureau and dam operators in controlling the opening of gates of dams during typhoons. “Nasunod naman yung protocol. Hindi lang talaga nakayanan ng river system itong dami ng tubig na ibinuhos hindi lang ni Ulysses, pati na rin ng frontal system na halos magkasabay ang occurrence doon sa Cagayan at sa upstream ng Cagayan River Basin,” the PAGASA chief explained.
