Negros Occidental has been placed under “blue alert” status in preparation for Tropical Depression “Quinta”, Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson said.

Lacson, who chairs the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council, said that the anticipated tropical depression may affect the province, bringing scattered light to moderate,  and at times heavy rains and thunderstorms.

He advised all chairpersons of municipal and city DRRMCs to heighten their state of preparedness, and called on them to initiate pro-active and appropriate precautionary measures for possible floods or landslide.

Ensure waterways are clear, review your contingency plans and mitigate possible risks in your respective areas, Lacson said. GPB
