Emergency Numbers

For the past few days, Manila and nearby areas have been experiencing inclement weather, with almost non-stop rains. Due to this, a lot of areas, mostly the low-lying ones, are flooded. Some areas are hit hard, with flood water levels reaching chest-deep. Some major roads in the metro are not passable due to high flood levels. Classes, as well as work both in government and private offices, were suspended yesterday.

Our town in Bulacan was affected by the rain and flood. Yesterday, flood water entered our house. It’s the second time this has ever happened; the first time was in 2009 during Ondoy. Thank God, the water level was not high, just about 3 inches. Water levels are higher in other areas. Rescue and relief operations are currently ongoing. Let us keep praying for everyone’s safety.

Amidst all this, a lot of communication about weather info, status of areas, rescue and relief efforts - among other things - are on the news and Internet, particularly the popular social medium, Twitter. I’m reposting here emergency numbers I came across online, for everyone’s reference:
