A signage outside Malinta National High School tells the public that the campus has been designated as an evacuation center so that residents would know what to do in case of an extreme emergency. Schools in other areas are likewise marked.

Young evacuees join the rest of their family at their assigned room in A. Deato Elementary School which has been designated as an evacuation center in this 2011 file photo taken at the height of Typhoon Falcon.

A plank of volunteers in Marulas distribute relief goods in a designated evacuation center in this file photo taken early this year. The local government and agencies have identified 97 centers to facilitate early and orderly evacuation during emergencies.

A family logs in at A. Deato Elementary School after rising waters brought by Typhoon Falcon compelled Malinta residents to evacuate.

Government assistance in medical and sanitation are put in place in designated places to address the needs of evacuees.

Tents were set up for evacuees in this file photo after a fire swept a number of houses in Marulas earlier this year. Aside from schools, covered courts, barangays halls, some private schools and churches are also identified as official evacuation centers.
