EL NIÑO ALERT | DOST-PAGASA has officially raised its ENSO Alert and Warning System to El Niño Alert, following the high likelihood of its development in the coming months and possible persistence into early 2027. This may bring drier-than-usual conditions, including dry spells and droughts in parts of the country.

However, above-normal rainfall may still be experienced over the western sections during the Habagat season.

🌊 Coastal cities may experience larger, more intense floods in the future.

As cities situated on river deltas are exposed to both the ocean and river mouth, these urban areas are more likely to experience a combination of extreme climate events, sea-level rise and land subsidence.

✍️ New research from the University of East Anglia (UEA), Shanghai Normal University and the University of Southampton – together with other institutions in China, the United States and the Netherlands – looked into the future of flooding in Shanghai.

Coastal areas have many possible sources of flooding: tide, storm surge, wave, river flows and rain. 💧

⚠️ By assessing all these sources of flooding, as well as climate change, sea-level rise and land subsidence, the researchers show that by 2100 the floods of Shanghai could increase in extent by 80% - and be much deeper.

🏙️ Low-lying delta cities are at risk - yet adaptation can help protect some of the world’s fastest-growing cities in these areas.

📌PDRRMO Convenes LDRRMOs to Enhance Disaster Preparedness

Today, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), headed by Shaminoden M. Sambitory, convened all Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officers (LDRRMOs) for a coordination meeting at the Executive Conference Room of the Provincial Capitol. The activity aimed to align provincial and municipal efforts in strengthening disaster resilience and operational readiness across the province.

Presided over by Governor Mamintal “Bombit” Alonto Adiong Jr., the meeting provided updates on key areas, including staffing, DRRM office operations, equipment and logistics, rescue vehicles, Early Warning Systems (EWS), evacuation shelters, relief goods and stockpile capacity, and the Operations Center (OpCen).

The program began with a comprehensive presentation on the province’s current disaster management capabilities, highlighting critical operational components such as human resources, infrastructure, logistics, and emergency preparedness.

Updates were presented on staffing levels and the continuing professionalization of DRRM personnel, as well as the status of the Provincial DRRM Office and its Operations Center (OpCen), which serves as the hub for emergency coordination. An inventory of rescue vehicles and specialized equipment was also discussed, along with the maintenance and functionality of Early Warning Systems in high-risk areas. In terms of humanitarian response, the office reported on evacuation shelter standards and the province’s stockpile capacity for relief goods to ensure timely assistance during disasters.

The meeting also recognized various local government units and offices as Gawad KALASAG awardees, highlighting their exemplary performance in disaster risk reduction and humanitarian response and setting a benchmark for other municipalities to further strengthen their local DRRM programs.

An open forum, presided over by Governor Adiong, provided an opportunity for municipal DRRM officers to raise concerns and identify operational gaps, including the need for advanced responder training, additional all-terrain rescue vehicles, and improved communication systems in geographically isolated areas. The Governor reaffirmed the provincial government’s commitment to addressing these needs through strategic planning, funding support, and resource allocation.

The meeting concluded with a call for strengthened collaboration, emphasizing that effective disaster response relies on seamless coordination between provincial leadership and municipal frontliners.
