Explained in plain English
Why evacuate for a typhoon?
Evacuations are ordered to protect people from the immediate dangers of a typhoon, such as flooding, landslides, and flying debris. With Typhoon Dolphin bringing substantial rainfall to an earthquake-hit area, the risk of further damage and casualties is significantly higher, making early evacuation a crucial safety measure to save lives.
