Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT DILG-NAPOLCOM Center, EDSA cor. Quezon Avenue, West Triangle, Quezon City ADVISORY To : ALL DILG REGIONAL DIRECTORS AND THE BARMM MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUBJECT : SUPER TYPHOON “HINNAMNOR” (INTERNATIONAL NAME) AND THE ENHANCED SOUTHWEST MONSOON DATE : August 31, 2022 ‘According to DOST-PAGASA Tropical Cyclone Advisory No. 05 issued at 11:00 AM today, Super Typhoon “HINNAMNOR’ maintains its strength while moving West ‘Southwestward over the sea East of Ryukyu Islands. At 10:00 AM today, the center of Super Typhoon “HINNAMNOR” was estimated, based on all available data, at 980 km Northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon (25.7°N, 129.8°E). It has maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 240 km/h, and a central pressure of 925 hPa, while moving West Southwestward at 30 km/h with strong to typhoon-force winds which extend outward up to 270 km from the center. Today through tomorrow evening, the Super Typhoon is forecast to decelerate while tracking generally west-southwestward or “Matino, Mahusay at Maaasahan” “Trunkline: (02) 8876-3454 loc. 6102southwestward over the sea southeast of the Ryukyu Islands. On the track forecast, “HINNAMNOR” may enter the PAR tonight. Once inside the PAR, the domestic name “HENRY” will be assigned to this tropical cyclone. Further deceleration is forecast to occur over the northern Philippine Sea. By late Thursday through Friday (2 September) “HINNAMNOR” may become almost stationary. STY “HINNAMNOR” may reach a peak intensity of 205 km/h within 24 hours before gradually weakening as it enters its quasi-stationary phase. This tropical cyclone may be downgraded to the typhoon category by Friday afternoon or evening. The extent of tropical cyclone winds of “HINNAMNOR” may continue to expand in the coming days as it moves towards the northem Philippine Sea. As such, the possibility of hoisting a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal over Extreme Northern Luzon during the occurrence of this tropical cyclone within the PAR is not ruled out. This tropical cyclone may bring rough seas over the northern and eastern seaboard of Luzon beginning late Thursday (1 September) or early Friday. Such conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to continue monitoring for updates. On the forecast rainfall, light to moderate with at times heavy rains associated with the outermost rainbands of the super typhoon may affect Extreme Northern Luzon beginning on late Thursday or Friday. Furthermore, this tropical cyclone may enhance the Southwest Monsoon and bring monsoon rains over the western section of Luzon beginning on Friday. Under these conditions, scattered to widespread flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are expected, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards, as identified in hazard maps, and in localities with significant antecedent rainfall. Meanwhile, inside the PAR, Tropical Depression “GARDO" is forecast to move generally north-northwestward or northwestward throughout the forecast period as it interacts with Super Typhoon “HINNAMNOR” outside the PAR. TD “GARDO” wi degenerate into a remnant low as early as this afternoon or tonight as “HINNAMNOR” begins to assimilate its circulation. In addition, the DENR-Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has identified more than 300 barangays that have high to very high susceptibility to floods and rain-induced landslides within the next 72 hours, (ANNEX A: MGB Cumulative Brgy List as of 31 August 2022, 2AM) based on the DOST-PAGASA Cumulative Rainfall Data GSM 80mm and WRF 130mm threshold model, as of 08312022 8AM. Based on these recent developments, you are directed to coordinate with your respective RDRRMCs continuously and to remind all LGUs, especially those in areas that were affected by Severe Tropical Storm “Florita” and have experienced extended or prolonged rain events andlor landslides/floodings, within your respective areas of responsibility to ensure that the critical preparedness actions indicated the DILG Advisory re “Typhoon “HINNAMNOR”. issued yesterday (31 August 2022) are already being undertaken with further emphasis to the following; Page 2 0f3,1. Convene their respective Local DRRMCs and conduct Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) meetings for floods, flash _floods, earthquake/rain-induced landslides, debris flow, strong winds, and other hydrometeorological hazards to ascertain the appropriate preparedness and response actions are undertaken; 2. Vigilantly monitor areas showing signs of landslides, such as tension cracks, seepages, terracettes, tilting of trees, etc. monitor moderate slopes with thick soil overburden and areas underlain by old landslide deposits; 3. CONDUCT PRE-EMPTIVE EVACUATION, if deemed necessary, and avoid areas affected by repeated flooding and landslides, meandering rivers with hillsides/riverbank erosion, floodplains with shifting and braiding streams, coastal areas affected by storm surge, flash flood areas, river deltas with many distributary channels, etc.; 4. Closely monitor the Northern, Eastem, and Wester seaboards of Luzon, and ensure that sea travel and small-scale fishing activities are closely monitored and if necessary, prohibited if there are gale warnings issued by DOST-PAGASA; 5. Cause the fastest and widest dissemination of this Advisory. All DILG Regional Directors and the BARMM Minister of the Interior and Local Government are enjoined to cause the widest dissemination of this Advisory within their respective areas of responsibility, particularly in the identified barangays.
