SLB TASK FORCE NOAH : PEDRING
for the victims of Typhoon Pedring


The number of families and individuals in the evacuation sites in various parts of Luzon is still high. The continued rain is posing continuous threat in many parts of North and Eastern Luzon. Some towns are still submerged in flood and with another threat of tropical cyclone passing our territory the next 24 hours according to PAGASA, the evacuees will have to bear the ordeal much longer. The situations in the various evacuation sites visited by our partner institutions and personnel are in need of your help. The children are getting sick, food shortage is common, potable water supply is unpredictable, sanitation is a major concern. Very few organizations are helping in the relief operations.

Our brothers and sisters are waiting for our urgent assistance. We appeal for the generosity of every Filipino out there to extend financial assistance and help our evacuees cope with the crisis. The evacuees are in need of the following:

1. Food and water supply.

Palanan, Isabela (1,500 families; dried fish; monggo; canned goods; coffee; rice)
Agta, Isabela (300 families; dried fish; monggo; canned goods; coffee; rice)
Maconacon, Isabela (500 families; dried fish; monggo; canned goods; coffee; rice)
Divilacan, Isabela (500 families; dried fish; monggo; canned goods; coffee; rice)
Quirino Province (details to be verified)
Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya (details to be verified)
Navotas, Metro Manila (1,900 families; Drinking Water, Cooked Food)
Sub-Urban and Sabah; Montalban, Rizal (260 families, Drinking Water, Food Items)
