The Philippine government, along with the Bangsamoro government, deployed emergency responders, including over 1,000 military personnel and 600 police officers, to assist affected communities.

Relief supplies such as tents and food were distributed to displaced residents, with temporary shelters set up in government buildings and covered courts.The worst-hit areas included Parang, Sultan Mastura, and Tambunan, where flashfloods overwhelmed infrastructure and left families stranded.
