FINDINGS:
- Except for Barangay Tagas in
Daraga, all the barangays affected by lahar flow during Reming's onslaught in 2006 may again be affected by lahar flow
this year as Typhoon Mina approaches.
- More barangays are being
forewarned of possible lahar flow this time around. Authorities
were criticized last year (Reming) for apparently failing to
warn some residents that they are in lahar flow-prone areas.
- All the barangays forewarned
of possible lahar flow due to Typhoon Mina are within PHIVOLCS'
lahar hazards map (i.e., lahar-prone).
- According to Albay Gov. Jose
Salceda, around 53,403 persons / 10,076 families in the province
are areas that may be endangered by lahar flow.
