Thousands of tree branches and logs have piled up at the Ambuklao Dam after being swept there from the Agno River by Super Typhoon #UwanPH.

Authorities said the large accumulation of debris is dangerous, especially near the dam’s spillway, and could pose a hazard if not cleared.

Barangay officials and volunteers have launched a cleanup drive and installed ropes to block the debris and prevent further spread.

A barangay councilman said this is the first time they have seen so much debris washed into Ambuklao Dam following a storm.

Several people were killed after a series of landslides struck different parts of the Cordillera region in the wake of Super Typhoon #UwanPH.

Meanwhile, in Baguio City, there were no casualties reported. However, strong winds toppled pine trees and electric poles, causing widespread power outages.
