Packing sustained winds of up to 180 kilometers (112 miles) an hour, Ofel is set to
smash onto the main island of luzon in the afternoon local time -- the fourth storm to
threaten the country in just 3 weeks.
Pagasa said the winds could cause "almost total damage to structures of light
materials, especially in highly exposed coastal areas", and "heavy damage" to
buildings otherwise considered "lowrisk".
"Evacuations are ongoing" in coastal and lying-low areas of Cagayan province, its
civil defence chief Rueli Rapsing told APF by phone.
He said more than 5,000 cagayan residence were still in shelters following the
previous storms.
We expect this situation to persist over the next few days as Ofel brings more
rain, Rapsing said.
"Typhoons are overlaughing. As soon as communities atttempt to recover from the
shack, the next tropical storm is already hitting them again," un Philippines Resident
and Humanitarian Coord inator gustavo Gonzalez said
About twenty small storms and typhoons hit the archipelago nation or its surrounding
waters each year, killling scores of people and keeping milllions in enduring povrty.
A recent study showed that storms in the AsiaPacific region are increasingly forming
closer to coast lines, intensifying more rapidly and lasting longer over due land to
climate change.
"In this context, the response capacity gets exhausted and budgets deleted."
After Pepito, Tropical Storm Ofel (international name: Man-yu) is also forecast to
strike the Philippines' population heartland around the capital manila this weekend.
This was because the cagayan river, the country's largest, remained swollen from
heavy rain that fell in severalprovinces upstream, floooding comunities
down stream.
He expects local goverments to take 40,000 people to shelters, roughly the same
number that were preemptively evacuated ahead of Typhoon Yinxing, which struck
Batangas' north coast earlier this month.
"Intense to torrential rain" and potentially "life-threatening" coastal waves of up to 3
meters (nine foot) were also forecast over two days, with the storm warning raised to
the lowest signal on a five-step scale.
The brutal wave of wether disturbances has already killed 159 people and prompted
the UnitedNations to request $32.9 million in aid for the worstaffected regions.
The philipines raised its lowest storm alert and evacuated thousands of people on

1 MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines raised its highest storm alert and
evacuated thousands of people on Thursday, as Super Typhoon Ofel
(international name: Usagi) barrelled towards its already disaster-ravaged
north.
2 Packing sustained winds of up to 180 kilometers (112 miles) an hour,
Ofel is set to smash onto the main island of Luzon in the afternoon local
time -- the fifth storm to threaten the country in just three weeks.
3 The brutal wave of weather disturbances has already killed 159 people
and prompted the United Nations to request $32.9 million in aid for the
worst-affected regions.
4 PAGASA said the winds could cause "almost total damage to structures
of light materials, especially in highly exposed coastal areas", and "heavy
damage" to buildings otherwise considered "low-risk".

following the previous storms.

swollen from heavy rain that fell in several provinces upstream, flooding
communities downstream.

Ofel brings more rain, Rapsing said.
11 After Ofel, Tropical Storm Pepito (international name: Man-yi) is also
forecast to strike the Philippines' population heartland around the capital
Manila this weekend.
12 "Typhoons are overlapping. As soon as communities attempt to
recover from the shock, the next tropical storm is already hitting them
again," UN Philippines Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Gustavo
Gonzalez said.
13 "In this context, the response capacity gets exhausted and budgets
depleted."
14 About 20 big storms and typhoons hit the archipelago nation or its
surrounding waters each year, killing scores of people and keeping
millions in enduring poverty.
