Crising, habagat trigger mass evacuation in QC
Nearly 989 families, or about 3,732 individuals, are currently sheltering at Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School in Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City, as Typhoon Crising continues to batter Metro Manila with heavy rains and gusty winds. The intensified southwest monsoon has triggered widespread flooding, leading to the declaration of a state of calamity in the city. Evacuees face cramped, damp conditions and health concerns, while local government units rush to deliver food, water, and hygiene kits. PAGASA has warned of ongoing rain, thunderstorms, flash floods, and landslides as Crising slowly moves across Northern Luzon.
