THE Government beefs up its effort to warn people and residents as Typhoon Odette will hit Central Visayas this December 17-18, 2021. PAG-ASA said that the Typhoon will intensify and may bring as high as Signal No. 3 in the region.
Based on its current track and intensity, Pagasa said “there is a high likelihood that Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals will be hoisted for Visayas, large portions of Mindanao, and several provinces in Southern Luzon due to the threat of strong to typhoon-force winds.”
“The highest possible wind signal that may be hoisted is TCWS #3. Localities situated in the eastern portions of Visayas and Mindanao may be placed under TCWS #1 as early as Tuesday afternoon or evening,” it added.
