MANILA — The Department of Social Welfare and Development has placed its quick response teams on heightened alert as Severe Tropical Storm Saudel approaches Philippine waters. The weather system is forecast to enter the Philippine area of responsibility by Monday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration.
While current projections indicate the storm is unlikely to make landfall, DSWD officials have maintained full readiness to respond to any potential humanitarian needs that may arise from the system's passage. The agency's rapid response units are positioned across vulnerable areas to ensure swift assistance in affected communities.
The move reflects standard preparedness protocols as the country enters peak typhoon season. Social welfare authorities continue to coordinate with other government agencies to monitor the storm's development and ensure adequate support mechanisms are in place for residents in storm-affected regions.
