Pagadian
City (CNN Philippines) — The response team of the City Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Council (CDRRMC) had resolved immediately the landslide incident in
Purok Sirawag in the nearby barangay of Lison Valley Thursday and the uprooted
tree along the F.S. Pajares Avenue in Barangay San Jose Friday (August 7).
CDRRMC
Office Head Haron Damada said the portion along the roadside going to Lison
Valley was almost cut due to a landslide caused by continuous heavy rain
brought by Typhoon Hanna.
“Immediately
it was resolved yesterday afternoon by the response team headed by the City
Engineer’s Office personnel,” Damada said.
Another
incident, on early Friday morning, was the uprooted of a star apple tree along
F.S. Pajares Avenue in Barangay San Jose
The
uprooted tree hampered the flow of traffic but was cleared immediately by the
response team.
No
casualty and only one minor incident has been reported as of 9 a.m. today,
Damada added.
As
of this posting, Pagadian City and Zamboanga del Sur will continue to experience
heavy rains due to the “habagat,” Damada disclosed.
