Voluntary evacuation

FEAR OF FLOODS. It took government officials a lot of coaxing for residents living in the vicinities to dangerous waterways to stay away from these places but without much ado many of these residents just sought safer places when the media said “Ramon” was coming. “Natarantar sila,” an Ear informer said.

The Ear informer who works for the government’s disaster risk and control management council, said the TV reports played a big part in compelling the residents in flood-prone areas to seek safer places even before Ramon’s coming. “Hadlok sila sa ilang nakitang tagaliog nga baha,” he said.
