At least 28,014 families, or about 100,024 individuals, have been affected by the combined effects of the southwest monsoon (habagat) and tropical cyclones Mirasol and Nando, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported Monday morning.
The affected families are spread across 181 barangays in Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula.
Of the total, 187 families are staying in 10 evacuation centers, while 173 others are seeking shelter elsewhere.
The NDRRMC is also validating reports of two deaths, two injured, and five missing persons — four in Central Luzon and one in Bicol — due to the recent severe weather.
In its 11 a.m. advisory, PAGASA said Super Typhoon Nando (international name: Ragasa) is moving westward at 20 kph and was last spotted 110 km east of Calayan, Cagayan, with maximum sustained winds of 215 kph and gusts reaching 265 kph. Signal No. 5 is now raised over Babuyan Islands.
