Dingdong Dantes is the lead in NDRRMC's important video on essential flood recovery checklist
On Facebook, the NDRRMC reshared the video it first published in June, starring the Kapuso Primetime King talking about the three things to check at home before going back to normal.
Check your outlets. Before attempting to use electricity, make sure that there are no wet cables or wires submerged in water to prevent electrical hazards such as short circuits.
Check your surroundings. Aside from your home's interior, make time to check your surroundings as well for stagnant or accumulated water that can potentially be a breeding ground for mosquitoes, such as plant pots, old tires, or any other containers. This is to prevent the spread of dengue or other mosquito-borne diseases.
Check yourself and your family. Last but not least, check yourself and your family's health. If needed, consult a health center or your doctor immediately in case anyone is feeling unwell.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are contending with heavy rains brought by Habagat, shortly after Tropical Cyclone Crising's devastation.
Some areas in Luzon have experienced flooding, while more than 500 flood incidents have been reported in Metro Manila.
According to the NDRRMC, six people were reported dead due to Tropical Cyclone Crising, Habagat, and the low-pressure area (LPA).
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Asia (PETA) has already called for pet owners to include animals in disaster plans during typhoon season.
Earlier Tuesday, state weather bureau PAGASA said heavy rains will continue to drench parts of the country due to the habagat and the trough of the LPA.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority also issued an advisory the affected roads.
As of 10am Tuesday, July 22, PAGASA is monitoring three LPAs in and outside of PAR.

OCD: P4 billion in infra damaged by Crising, Habagat, LPA
'In terms of damages, meron pa tayong P4 billion worth of infrastructure damage as reported. Pero this is still subject to validation ng ating mga ahensya,' OCD officer-in-charge Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV said in a virtual press briefing. Damage to infrastructure worth P4 billion was reported in the country due to the impact of Tropical Cyclone Crising, the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, and a low-pressure area (LPA), according to the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) on Wednesday. 'In terms of damages, meron pa tayong P4 billion worth of infrastructure damage as reported. Pero this is still subject to validation ng ating mga ahensya,' OCD officer-in-charge Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV said in a virtual press briefing. (In terms of damages, we still have P4 billion worth of infrastructure damage as reported. But this is still subject to validation by our agencies.) 'For agriculture naman, ang losses already amounts to P217.5 million pesos dahil apektado po ang ating corn, rice, and other high value crops na pananim dito sa ating bagyong ito,' he added. (For agriculture, the losses already amount to 217.5 million pesos because our corn, rice, and other high-value crops are affected by this tropical cyclone.) Alejandro said nearly 1.9 million people, or 533,213 families, were affected by the bad weather. Of the affected population, around 25,000 families were staying in evacuation centers while 21,000 families were taking shelter in other places. On July 16, a low-pressure area (LPA) inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) developed into Tropical Depression Crising. On July 19, Crising intensified as a severe tropical storm and exited the PAR. Despite Crising's exit, Habagat continued to bring rains in some parts of the country. Twelve people were reported dead due to the impact of Crising and Habagat, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said Wednesday. Most of the reported deaths were recorded in Calabarzon, with five. This was followed by Negros Island Region with three. One fatality was reported each in Metro Manila, Mimaropa, Northern Mindanao, and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARRM). The victims died due to drowning and falling trees. Nine people were reported missing and seven others were reported injured. The information from the PNP is up for validation by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). –NB, GMA Integrated News

''Its passage over Northern Luzon will weaken Emong into a tropical storm.'' ''Emong is forecast to move generally southwestward tonight before looping over the West Philippine Sea tomorrow morning through afternoon due to its interaction with Tropical Storm Dante.
