MANILA, Philippines — Amid flooding due to continuous heavy rains from the southwest monsoon enhanced by Typhoon “Carina,” the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) response teams were immediately deployed to assist displaced families in the National Capital Region (NCR).
The PRC has deployed vehicles and assets, including 6×6 multi-purpose response trucks to aid flood-troubled residents in Malabon.
Also, PRC’s emergency response unit (ERU) rescued stranded people in Addition Hills Village, Mandaluyong City.
“Be vigilant and prepared. In case of emergency, don’t hesitate to call us; dial hotline 143 for immediate assistance,” PRC Chairman and CEO Richard Gordon said.
The Red Cross distributed hot meals to over 440 displaced individuals from Isla Puting, Bato, and 649 village people in Manila who are currently sheltered in the Delpan and Baseco evacuation centers on Tuesday.
