Aurora under state of calamity

Aurora province has been placed under state of calamity on Saturday as it deals with the aftermath of Typhoon Ulysses.

The provincial board approved Resolution No. 232 declaring the state of calamity with widespread damage in livelihood, infrastructure, agriculture, and housing.

Neighboring Isabela and Cagayan provinces have also been placed under state of calamity.

According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), at least 33 people have died due to the typhoon. Ulysses brought widespread flooding in many parts of Luzon, from the southern Bicol provinces to the northern Cagayan Valley provinces, as it came in the wake of several others cyclones hitting the Philippines. —JST, GMA News
