MANILA, Philippines — The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council directed all regional disaster risk reduction officials in affected regions to prepare in connection with the current weather systems affecting the country.

 

In a statement sent to reporters late Wednesday afternoon, the NDRRMC said that it "encouraged" its offices in the regions to initiate pre-disaster risk assessment efforts "as needed."

 

This comes amid the oncoming Tropical Depression Gardo and Hinnamnor, the super typhoon still outside the Philippine area of responsibility as of press time but is expected to enter the country's jurisdiction by Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
