At least P15.507 million in agriculture and infrastructure were damaged in the Ilocos and Cagayan Valley regions in the wake of Typhoon Dodong (Noul), the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said Monday night.

In its 8 p.m. update, the NDRRMC said the damage included P2.7 million in crops and P12.8 million in infrastructure for a total of P15.5 million.

The NDRRMC also said 1,279 families or 4,523 people in Cagayan and Isabela were affected.

As of 11 a.m. Monday, all evacuation centers were closed and all people evacuated had returned to their homes.

Meanwhile, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said that as of 11 a.m., the Magapit-Lucban and Magapit-Sta. Ana 69-kilovolt lines had been energized.

This restored power to parts of Cagayan that experienced power interruptions after Dodong made landfall Sunday afternoon. — Joel Locsin/ELR, GMA News
