Class Suspensions Hit Aurora Amid Tropical Depression Isang
Authorities have suspended classes in two Aurora towns as Tropical Depression Isang intensifies. The local government units of Dilasag and Dingalan announced the suspension of all classes in public and private schools on Friday, citing safety concerns due to worsening weather conditions.
TD Isang Makes Landfall in Aurora
According to an 11 a.m. advisory from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), a low-pressure area east of Aurora strengthened into Tropical Depression Isang and made landfall over Casiguran earlier in the day. This development has prompted heightened vigilance across the province.
Widespread Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal Issued
Following the landfall, northern and central towns in Aurora—including Casiguran, Dinalungan, Dilasag, Baler, Maria Aurora, Dipaculao, and San Luis—were placed under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1. Local officials urged residents to stay alert for possible flooding and landslides as the storm system brings heavy rains and strong winds.
Safety Measures and Community Preparedness
Community leaders emphasized the importance of preparedness amid the adverse weather. “We encourage everyone to remain indoors and monitor official advisories closely,” local authorities reported. Emergency response teams have been put on standby to assist residents in affected areas.
Impact on Daily Life and Education
The suspension of classes reflects the commitment of local governments to prioritize the safety of students and educators. Officials noted that these precautionary steps are necessary to prevent accidents during the storm’s peak. Residents are advised to secure their homes and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
