Nearly 40,000 people remain in evacuation centers across the Cagayan Valley due to Typhoon #NikaPH, many of whom lost their homes to the previous typhoon, #MarcePH.

In Tuguegarao City, intense rain poured all morning on Monday, November 11, 2024, which led authorities to monitor the Pinacanauan Bridge closely due to the threat of the river overflowing, which could flood nearby areas.

Local officials in Tuguegarao enforced preemptive evacuations, such as with residents of Gosi Sur and Gosi Norte.

"Natatakot lang ako doon sa typhoon fatigue na dahil sa bagyo ng bagyo mapagod na ang mga tao at maging relax na sila," Mayor Maila Ting-Que said.

Aling Encarnacion, a resident of Centro 10 in Tuguegarao, returned home only three days ago after flooding from Typhoon #MarcePH.

Now, she’s preparing to evacuate again.

"Inaabangan na namin na tataas ang tubig, kapag mataas na lilipat na kami, kapag hanggang diyan na ang tubig alsabalutan na kami," Encarnacion said.

Concerns about river overflow have residents in Tuguegarao and surrounding towns on high alert, including Enrile, Tuao, Solana, Rizal, and Piat.

"May mga lumikas na kasi kung na observe ninyo pabugso-bugso ang hangin but that's not the thing, ang worry natin ay ang ulan at tubig from Isabela," Dr. Roderick Ramirez, the city's disaster risk reduction and management officer, said.

In Isabela, heavy rains and winds from Typhoon #NikaPH forced several residents to evacuate.

In Echague, locals working at a fairground fled after strong gusts ripped apart the tarps covering their shelter.

Some residents moved to a covered court nearby, setting up modular tents indoors that still struggled against the wind.

In Alicia, tin roofs were nearly torn off, while nipa huts tilted from the strong winds, and fallen trees and power poles blocked roads, making travel nearly impossible.
