Tropical Storm Kristine (Trami)

The recent Tropical Storm Kristine (international name: Trami) is currently moving across the Philippine Sea and is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds, particularly impacting the eastern portions of the country.

According to the latest advisory from PAGASA, the storm has slightly intensified as it moves toward the Bicol region.

Regions to get effected by storm

The storm is forecasted to bring severe weather to parts of Luzon, including:

• Bicol Region
• Eastern Visayas
• Central Luzon

The regions at risk are expected to experience heavy rainfall starting on October 22, 2024, leading to potential flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Additionally, strong winds could cause power disruptions and structural damage in affected regions. The storm will likely track west-northwestward, heading towards Luzon and may also bring intense rains to Metro Manila in the coming days.

Residents in vulnerable areas, including those near coastlines, riverbanks, and mountainous regions, are advised to be cautious of storm surges, flash floods, and landslides. PAGASA continues to issue warnings to the public, urging people to stay updated on weather bulletins and follow local authorities’ evacuation orders if necessary.

Storm Preparedness in the Philippines

As Tropical Storm Kristine (Trami) continues to affect parts of the Philippines, it’s vital to raise awareness about storm preparedness and the necessary measures to ensure safety.

1. Secure Financial Protection with Storm Insurance

  • AXA Philippines: Provides both personal and property insurance, covering typhoon and flood damage under its residential and business insurance plans.

2. Prepare an Emergency Kit

• A well-prepared storm preparedness kit is essential for your safety during and after a storm. Your kit should include:
• Non-perishable food and bottled water for several days.
• A first aid kit with medications and hygiene items.
• Flashlights, batteries, and emergency radios to stay updated on storm warnings and instructions.
• Include storm safety gear like waterproof clothes, sturdy shoes, and blankets for added protection.
