The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) raised a blue alert as of 11 a.m. last Wednesday. This alert level activates pre-disaster risk assessment efforts and a coordinated response to protect communities potentially affected by Tropical Depression Crising.

They provide regular weather updates and advisories to local stakeholders and the public to keep everyone informed.
Meanwhile, the NDRRMC has activated its Virtual Emergency Operation Center to manage real-time information and facilitate swift action. Officials continue to monitor the situation closely and disseminate relevant advisories to safeguard communities.
