CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro — At least 145 individuals from 41 families have been evacuated in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, as continuous heavy rains brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat) prompted authorities to raise flood and landslide alerts on Saturday, July 11.
The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) of Sablayan said the evacuees were temporarily sheltered in village evacuation centers after residents from the barangays of Buenavista, Poblacion, Sto. Niño, Sta. Lucia, and Batong Buhay conducted preemptive evacuations.
The figures were recorded as of 7 a.m., according to government data.
