“The Department is in close coordination with concerned NGAs, LGUs and other DRRM-related offices for the impact of TY “ULYSSES” and available resources for interventions and assistance; as well as with water management-related agencies for flood risk monitoring and dam water release,” pahayag ng DA.

Patuloy ding sinusuri ang mga posibleng nasira sa agri-fisheries sector.
