NDRRMC-OPCEN has been continuously disseminating NDRRMC Advisory on

Typhoon “JUAN” (MEGI) to all regions through SMS, facsimile and NDRRMC
website for further dissemination to their respective local disaster risk reduction and
management councils from the provincial down to the municipal levels

NDRRMC OpCen was put on blue alert status on October 15, 2010 and on red alert
status on 17 October. All member agencies sent their representatives on 24-hour

measures undertaken in anticipation of the expected landfall in the mainland:

Activated WASAR capabilities in Metro Manila in case needed within NCR or for
deployment to Northern Luzon.

AFP Reservists mobilized with a contingent assembled in Camp Aguinaldo

Should the effects of the typhoon go beyond the country’s capability to respond, the
ASEAN, under the terms and obligations of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster
Management and Emergency Response (AADMER), will be requested for assistance
first before an appeal may be made to the international community

In view of the expected increase of the rainfall intensity of Magat watershed
within the next 24 hours, DOST-PAGASA recommends that power generation
of Magat Dam be maximized before any impending releases from the spillway
as part of flood control protocol and will provide updates on time of water
release from the spillway should the situation warrants
