“This measure is implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of all students and the general public,” Hamor stated in the advisory.

Local disaster officials are advised to implement the necessary measures depending on the local situations and closely monitor highly vulnerable communities.

Although sea travel has yet to be banned, small vessels are discouraged to sail may face significant risks due to “anticipated rough sea conditions.”

The residents were also urged to “remain vigilant and take precautionary measures” as the storm looms, posing a threat on public safety.
