Due to the typhoon, which was anticipated to trigger mudflows from Mount Pinatubo, officials urged people in the towns of San Fernando and Minalin to evacuate to higher ground.[1] In Luzon and parts of Central Visayas, all schools and government offices were closed due to the typhoon.[2] 7,150 people stayed in nineteen evacuation centers located in the provinces of Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Sorsogon and Catanduanes.[3]
Power plants supplied by Meralco were shut down due to a risk of electrocution accidents from downed telephone lines.[3]
