In a proactive move to ensure public safety, Cebu City authorities have suspended classes at all levels today as Typhoon Aghon continues to intensify and move across the region.
Comprehensive Class Cancellations
The suspension affects both public and private educational institutions, covering all academic levels from elementary to tertiary education. This decisive action comes as weather monitoring agencies report increasing storm strength and potential risks to student safety.
Work Arrangement Advisories
Private companies throughout Cebu have received strong recommendations to implement flexible work arrangements. Employers are encouraged to prioritize employee safety by allowing work-from-home options where feasible, particularly for non-essential personnel.
Essential Services Remain Operational
While classes are suspended and private sector flexibility is encouraged, essential services and government offices continue normal operations. Emergency response teams remain on high alert, prepared to address any storm-related incidents throughout the day.
Public Safety Reminders
Residents are advised to:
- Monitor official weather bulletins regularly
- Avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm conditions
- Secure outdoor items that could become projectiles
- Prepare emergency kits with essential supplies
- Heed evacuation orders if issued by local authorities
The local government continues to coordinate with disaster risk reduction management councils to monitor the typhoon's development and implement additional safety measures as needed.
