SRC’s disaster surveillance team is also closely monitoring the incoming Tropical Cyclone Matmo, which is expected to make landfall in the Philippines on Friday.
SRC added that it remains in close coordination with its local humanitarian partners, including its Philippine counterpart, to “ensure assistance directly addresses the most urgent and evolving needs on the ground”.
The Philippines was subjected to two typhoons recently.
Typhoon Bualoi killed 37 people and forced 400,000 people to flee their homes in the northern Philippines last week and Typhoon Ragasa killed 14 people in the country in late September.
