Philippine officials announced the consequences of Typhoon Yagi, saying the death toll had increased to 16 and infrastructure damage was about 4 million USD.
Typhoon Yagi made landfall in the Philippines on the evening of September 1, causing floods and landslides in many areas before leaving the country on September 3. The Philippine National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) today released statistics on the consequences of the storm.
Of the 16 deaths due to Typhoon Yagi, eight were in Calabarzon, three in Bicol, two in Central Visayas, two in Eastern Visayas and one in Western Visayas. The cause of death was landslides or drowning.
NDRRMC said there are still 17 people missing, in addition to 13 injured. The number of households affected by bad weather is more than 538,000, equivalent to about two million people, of which more than 9,000 households are living in evacuation centers.
NDRRMC recorded 238 flooded areas, 12 landslides due to rain, and 4 collapsed structures. A total of 5,965 homes were partially or completely damaged.
Yagi became a super typhoon after leaving the Philippines on September 4. This afternoon, it made landfall in China’s Hainan province with winds of more than 234 km/h. The storm is twice as powerful as when it passed through the Philippines.
To respond to the storm, Hainan officials evacuated more than 400,000 people and raised the storm warning to the highest level since September 5. Authorities asked people not to leave their homes and ordered all businesses, markets, public transportation, tourist attractions and schools to close.
Typhoon Yagi is expected to enter the Gulf of Tonkin overnight. This is the strongest storm in the East Sea in the past 30 years. Around noon on September 7, the center of the storm landed in Quang Ninh – Nam Dinh provinces, with intensity level 11-12, shock level 15. Authorities advised people to avoid going out.
