🌪️ The powerful Typhoon Kraton hit the northern islands of the Philippines, including the provinces of Cagayan and Batanes, on September 30, 2024. Wind speeds reached 175 km/h with gusts up to 215 km/h, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of residents from coastal villages and flood-prone areas as a precaution. Schools have been closed and ferry services suspended. In the city of Sabtang on Batanes Island, streets are deserted as strong winds bend trees and damage buildings.
🌏 The current climate change is resulting in catastrophic events. We urgently need to unite the world's scientific potential into a Global Scientific Center! Let's establish a Worldwide Disaster Alert and Rescue Service! Humanity must come together for our survival! #Philippines #Batanes #TyphoonKraton
