PNP STANDS READY TO ASSIST COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY TROPICAL STORM "MAYMAY"
The Philippine National Police (PNP) reminded the public to remain alert and take necessary precautions as Tropical Storm "Maymay" (international name: Kujira) continues to bring heavy rains and strong winds over several parts of the country. Police units nationwide continue to coordinate with local authorities and partner agencies to provide assistance and help ensure public safety in affected communities.
Police units nationwide have been directed to closely coordinate with local government units, disaster response agencies, and other concerned offices to ensure prompt assistance, maintain public order, and support emergency operations in communities that may be affected by flooding, landslides, and other weather-related incidents.
These preparedness measures reflect the PNP's continuing efforts to strengthen police operational readiness under its Focused Agenda while supporting the whole-of-government disaster response initiatives of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
Chief, PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. reminded the public that preparedness is a shared responsibility and encouraged everyone to stay informed through official advisories.
"Habang patuloy nating mino-monitor ang sitwasyon, ang pakiusap ko sa ating mga kababayan ay huwag balewalain ang mga babala. Kung may abiso na umiwas muna sa pagbibiyahe o lumikas, sundin natin ito. Mas mabuti ang maagap kaysa magsisi sa huli. Ang inyong PNP ay nasa inyong komunidad, handang tumulong at rumesponde anumang oras na kailangan ninyo," PGen Nartatez said.
The PNP also advised motorists to avoid flooded roads, secure their homes before leaving, monitor updates from PAGASA and local authorities, and immediately report emergencies or persons needing assistance to the nearest police station or emergency response hotline.
The PNP assures the public that police personnel across the country remain prepared to provide assistance and ensure public safety as weather conditions continue to develop, in keeping with the commitment of the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
