The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has placed its operations center and 44 member agencies on heightened alert to prepare for the potential effects of Super Typhoon Bavi, which remains outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).Weather bureau PAGASA forecasts Bavi to enter PAR on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, where it will be named Inday.

Current data shows Bavi is 2,010 km east of Central Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h and gusts up to 240 km/h, moving west-northwest at 30 km/h.Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV confirmed continuous monitoring since the weekend, with agencies already on standby.Enhanced southwest monsoon conditions are also being tracked for heavy rains in Regions 1 to 4B, particularly Palawan.The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has prepositioned 4.775 million family food packs worth over Php3.009 billion, along with 364,283 ready-to-eat food boxes and 271,446 non-food items, following presidential directives to ensure disaster readiness.These measures aim to mitigate risks and support affected communities ahead of Bavi's potential landfall.
