A powerful typhoon brought widespread flooding and landslides to the Philippines, killing at least one person, authorities in the country said.
Typhoon Doksuri, known as Egay in the Philippines, has caused flooding across five regions and more than a dozen rain-induced landslides, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. One victim was killed and two others injured in the northern and central regions of Calabarzon and Western Visayas, the agency said. The storm made landfall at 3:10 a.m. local time near remote northern Fuga Island, said Pagasa, the Philippine weather bureau.
The governor of Cagayan province, which suspended schools and closed offices, said more than 12,000 people were evacuated from coastal and mountain towns by Tuesday evening. “It’s a powerful typhoon and we want to take as many preemptive measures as possible,” Gov. Cagayan Manuel Mamba told CNN. Officials also canceled at least a dozen domestic flights from Wednesday through Friday.
