The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 in parts of Northern Luzon as Typhoon Nika, internationally recognized as Toraji, gained strength. The areas most affected included the regions of Cagayan, Isabela, Kalinga, Apayao, Abra, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur. Residents in these areas were advised to brace for severe weather conditions potentially affecting their daily activities and livelihoods.

PAGASA’s forecast indicated that Typhoon Nika was moving westward at approximately 20 kilometers per hour, with sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour near the center and gusts reaching up to 185 kilometers per hour. The typhoon was expected to make landfall in Dilasag, Aurora.

Local governments in the affected regions began implementing precautionary measures in response to the PAGASA advisory. These measures included cancellation of classes and work for both public and private institutions, as well as the suspension of local transportation routes. Residents were urged to evacuate to designated safe zones to avoid potential hazards such as flooding, landslides, and strong winds.

Authorities also warned of the possibility of storm surges along coastal areas. Fisherfolk and residents of coastal communities were cautioned against venturing out to sea. The Philippine Coast Guard deployed personnel to monitor and assist in evacuation efforts.

Public services were on high alert to ensure safety and provide necessary assistance. Emergency response teams were mobilized to assess and address the situation promptly. Medical teams were on standby to offer aid to affected individuals.

In response to the advancing typhoon, utility companies prepared for potential power outages and infrastructure damage. Contingency plans were in place to restore services as quickly as possible following the storm’s passage. Communication lines were established between local governments and national agencies to ensure coordination and effective dissemination of information.

The national government reiterated its commitment to assist those affected by the typhoon through its disaster risk reduction and management programs. Supplies, including food and drinking water, were pre-positioned in strategic locations to ensure quick distribution to those in need.
