The Pro-Iloilo Negros Island Region (Pro-NIR) has activated its full disaster response capabilities as Typhoon 'Tino' intensifies and moves toward the region. Emergency management teams across Negros Occidental are on high alert, implementing precautionary measures to protect communities from the impending weather disturbance.
Local disaster risk reduction and management councils have been mobilized throughout the province, with particular focus on flood-prone and landslide-vulnerable areas. Emergency response units are strategically positioned to ensure rapid deployment when needed.
Critical preparedness measures currently underway include:
- Preemptive evacuation planning for high-risk communities
- Coordination with local government units for resource distribution
- Activation of emergency operation centers across the region
- Stockpiling of relief goods and emergency supplies
- Establishment of communication protocols for real-time updates
Residents in coastal and low-lying areas are advised to remain vigilant and heed official warnings from local authorities. The public is encouraged to monitor weather bulletins regularly and prepare emergency kits containing essential supplies, important documents, and medications.
Emergency hotlines have been activated, and evacuation centers are being prepared to accommodate residents who may need to relocate from danger zones. The Pro-NIR disaster response team emphasizes the importance of community cooperation and early preparation to minimize potential impacts of Typhoon 'Tino'.
As the typhoon continues its path, the region remains on high alert, with all emergency response assets ready for immediate deployment to ensure the safety and welfare of all residents across Negros Occidental.
