MANILA -- Almost the entirety of Naga City in Camarines Sur is now flooded due to continuous heavy rain and gusts of wind caused by tropical storm KristinePH.

In a Facebook post, Naga City Mayor Nelson Legacion appealed for additional “trucks and assets from government and private sectors that can navigate floodwaters between 3 to 6 feet deep,” as the city’s rescue operations are ongoing.

“If you have vehicles capable of assisting in these conditions, please proceed immediately to the Incident Management Team at the Public Safety Office, City Hall Compound,” Mayor Legacion added.

The city has been receiving calls for rescue from affected residents who are stuck in their homes due to the fast-rising waters.

In photos shared by Aljon Paulo, some areas in the city were submerged in knee-deep to chest-deep floodwaters.

Some vehicles can also be seen submerged in a subdivision in Barangay Del Rosario.

The Naga River has also reached its critical level.
