Description
Issued on 13 June 2026 at 4PM, cloudy skies with scattered rains and
thunderstorms due to Easterlies may have caused flash floods or landslides due to
moderate to at times heavy rains in Mindanao.
On the same day, the prevailing easterlies brought strong winds, large waves, and
heavy rains across the Zamboanga Peninsula, initiating community evacuations and
localized landslides. Residents from several coastal barangays in Pagadian City
were evacuated due to the threat of aggressive coastal winds and heavy wave
action. A rain-induced landslide also occurred in Brgy. Don Eleno, Sergio Osmeña,
Zamboanga del Norte, following continuous heavy rainfall generated by the same
easterlies system.
In response, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through
its Field Office (FO) IX, together with the affected Local Government Units (LGUs),
provided relief assistance to address the immediate needs of the affected families
and individuals.
The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) is a repository of information concerning hazards and disasters that have happened in the region. The platform is open for public, which means that the public can submit information about any hazard and disaster to the AHA Centre. Thereafter, the AHA Centre will verify and validate any submitted information to ensure the accuracy of the data inputs. The AHA Centre can also add new information when relevant and as necessary. ADINet has been recording disaster information in the region since the AHA Centre was operational in 2012.
