14 July 2010 4:00 AM - TS Basyang crossed Luzon located at 90 km West of Metro Manila or 14.6°N, 120.1°E (95 kph) 10:00 AM - it maintained it strength as it moved away from the country 4:00 PM - Tropical Storm Basyang moved farther away from the country 10:00 PM - it continued to move away from the country located at 290 km West of Dagupan City or 16.2°N, 117.3°E (85 kph) 15 July 2010 (Final) 4:00 AM - TS Basyang moved farther away from the country (85 kph) B. Over-all Assessment Typhoon Basyang is the first typhoon in 2010 that crossed the mainland. However, its effects in terms of population affected, casualties and damages are very minimal compared to the effects of Tropical Storm “Ondoy” in 2009. The strength of TS Ondoy was only 105 kph, however, prior to its landfall near the boundary of Aurora and Quezon, it brought more rainfall enhanced by southwest monsoon which caused widespread flooding in most part of Metro Manila, Southern and Central Luzon as well as other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao while Typhoon Basyang was 120 kph but it did not bring more rainfall. Hence, resulting minimal destruction except in five (5) provinces of Region IV-A which suffered the brunt in terms of population, affecting 36,899 families or 180,452 persons in 546 barangays of 61 municipalities with minimal number of population displacement 1,132 families or 6,267 persons who evacuated to 46 evacuation centers. As of reporting time, there are 422 families or 2,081 families inside 15 evacuation centers. Region IV-A has the highest number of casualties (41 dead , 30 missing and 24 injured) while Region V is highest in terms of missing 47 aggravated by maritime incidents. In terms of damaged houses and cost of damages to agriculture and infrastructure, Region IV-A rank as No. 1 (3,165 totally and 23,696 partially and PhP94.750 Million). Only four (4) regions were affected by Typhoon Basyang: Regions III (Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan and Pampanga); IV-A (Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon and Batangas); V (Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte and Catanduanes); and NCR (cities of Muntinlupa, Pateros and Manila). Affected municipalities in Region IV-A were the same municipalities affected by Typhoon Ondoy in 2009. The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDANA) teams of RDCCs III, IV-A, V and MMDA are still conducting DANA in their respective areas of responsibility to determine the actual effects of said weather disturbance. It is therefore expected that figures on Typhoon Basyang will still increase. C. SUMMARY OF THE EFFECTS 1.
