DSWD Regional Director Norman Laurio said the resources are strategically positioned to support local government units in the event of evacuations, displacements, or other emergencies caused by Tino.

According to Philippines News Agency, classes in kindergarten are suspended in nine areas in Albay as Tino may bring moderate to heavy rains within the next two to three hours.

The fisherfolk and the public are strongly advised to refrain from sea travel and water-related activities until weather conditions improve.
