THREAD: NDRRMC holds a media briefing on Typhoon #UlyssesPH via Zoom | LIVE bit.ly/35nnpUV

Updates by our digital producers @_alyssarola and @cathmodesto1

Office of Civil Defense Assistant Secretary Casiano Monilla says their units continue to respond in areas affected by Typhoon #UlyssesPH

OCD on #UlyssesPH response: If companies have assets na pwedeng maiambag nila sa ating kasalukuyang sitwasyon, kami po ay magpapasalamat din sa kanila

OCD on #UlyssesPH flood situation: I cannot give you factual data because sa ngayon, we’re still gathering reports from LGUs.

Ang focus namin sa operations ay to be able to direct and harness all rescue units na pwede mahatak, so that LGUs will be assisted in their operations.

OCD: Hindi ko masasabing merong pagkukulang (on weather forecasting). There were several models that were presented during briefings, kung ano ‘yung possibilities.

Ang limitation on science sometimes is the volume of rains — we can’t predict the strength, ‘yung bilis niya.

OCD on typhoon response: NDRRMC has already conducted meetings with regional councils to plan out response operations. Sa regions, ito po ay nagpapatawag ng kanilang local governments para ma-forewarn sila.

OCD: The national agencies cannot micromanage, we have the local government units to respond

OCD: I guess it’s not time for us to point fingers. What we are focusing now is the conduct of the rescue operations. We save lives first.

OCD on NDRRMC funds: We have allocated funds enough for disaster or natural calamities that may come. Meron pong nakalaan diyan ang ating LGUs and other agencies na may role na gagampanan pagdating sa mga ganitong kalamidad.
