The number of families affected by Tropical Storm Ondoy (international name Ketsana) has already reached 1,872,036 persons or 319,881 families. <\/strong>Ondoy battered Metro Manila and parts of Luzon after it made landfall near the boundary of Aurora and Quezon Saturday morning, September 26. Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Batangas, Laguna and Rizal were the most affected by the massive floods. <\/span><\/div>\n

The National Disaster Coordinating Council reported that 240 people died <\/strong>in the National Capital Region (101), CAR (3), Region III (37), and Region IV-A (99). Meantime, at least 37 people remain missing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Metro Manila, over 100,000 people from over 900 barangays were evacuated after incessant rains caused heavy flooding in Manila, Marikina, Malabon, Muntinlupa, Makati, Pasay, Pasig, Valenzuela, San Juan and Quezon City. Flood water in some areas have already reached the second and third floors of buildings, forcing residents to seek refuge on the roof of their houses. A total of 50 road sections were also left impassable to vehicles due to raging flood waters, leaving several commuters stranded. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In Bulacan, 113 baranggays in Marilao, Meycuayan, San Miguel and Bocaue Sta Maria, Calumpit, Bustos and Norzagaray were heavily flooded. In Pampanga, 64 barangays in San Simon, Guagua, Masantol, Apalit, Lubao, Porac, Sto Tomas and San Fernando.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In Rizal, several barangays were flooded and 5,000 families were affected by rising floodwater. Many villages were not accessible to the rescue teams, leaving several families trapped on rooftops for hours. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Landslides occurred in Mt Province-Cagayan via Tabuk in CAR; Brgy. San Juan-Banyo, Arayat, Pampanga in Region III; Brgy. Bongalon, Sangay, Camarines Sur in Region V; Tagaytay-Taal Road, and Tagaytay-Talisay Road in Cavite; and Antipolo-Teresa Road and Sumulong Highway in Rizal. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The total cost of damage<\/strong> has already reached P108.9M<\/strong>. The damage to infrastructure has reached P108.7M; and to agriculture P212,537.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Appeal for assistance<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Right after the typhoon, CDRC and its Regional Centers immediately conducted a Damages, Needs and Capacities Assessment (DNCA) in the affected areas. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the total number of affected families, the most vulnerable were carefully identified, taking into account the gravity of destruction, their economic capacity to cope, their accessibility to relief services conducted by other agencies, and their willingness to help themselves. On the basis of these criteria, 25,473 families<\/strong> have been short-listed as the most vulnerable families from among the total affected.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The above-mentioned communities are among the worst affected by the typhoon and floods. Their houses were destroyed by the floods, and many of these areas are still difficult to access and therefore receive very little assistance if any. Immediate needs are food supply augmentation and other essential non-food items. <\/span><\/p>\n
