Residents bring their boats to prevent them from being swept away by a swollen river due to Typhoon Doksuri in Laoag city, Ilocos Norte province, northern Philippines, Wednesday, July 26, 2023. Typhoon Doksuri blew ashore in a cluster of islands and lashed northern Philippine provinces with ferocious wind and rain Wednesday, leaving at least a few people dead and displacing thousands of others as it blew roofs off rural houses, flooded low-lying villages and toppled trees, officials said.
“For those whose houses have been destroyed—completely destroyed houses—there is emergency support that will be provided by DHSUD [Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development], the human settlements, and there is also assistance from NHA [National Housing Authority]. They can work together to provide assistance and help build houses,” he added.
Some residents in Egay-hit areas in Northern Luzon are temporarily taking shelter at evacuation centers where medical teams and other government assistance have been provided to ensure their safety. Egay, which struck last week, destroyed more than P1.3 billion worth of agricultural crops and caused an estimated P2.66 billion of damage to infrastructure, including bridges and roads, according to local media reports that cited the agriculture and public works departments.
