MANILA (UPDATE) — Typhoon Odette devastated large parts of the Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and Southern Luzon this week, destroying homes and forcing thousands to flee.

The province of Cebu and Cebu City already declared a state of calamity, as local officials reel over the damage caused by the typhoon.

Odette has killed at least 4 people and forced some 300,000 to leave their homes, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.

ABS-CBN News compiled a list of badly-hit areas and the contact numbers available where people can coordinate and send help.

SIARGAO, SURIGAO DEL NORTE

Surigao Del Norte Governor Francisco "Lalo" Matugas on Friday night said Odette has destroyed an estimated P20 billion worth of infrastructure in Siargao, a popular tourist spot in the country.

Officials earlier said their airport was heavily damaged.

Videos and photos from the Philippine Coast Guard and the military showed that many parts of the island are still flooded following Odette's onslaught.

Odette blew roofs off houses and uprooted trees. Debris from destroyed infrastructure are also scattered in neighborhoods.
