PAG-ASA Rainfall warning: A guide for parents

To keep your family safe, make sure you're up-to-date on the latest safety warnings, like the PAGASA rainfall warning system!

During the coming rainy months, expect to hear more of the PAGASA rainfall warning system. This color-coded system was designed to let the public know the level of rainfall to expect within an hour.

Here’s how to tell what it means at a glance, as well as tips on how to keep your family safe!

PAGASA Rainfall Warning System: Safety Tips Families MUST Know

RED WARNING: Evacuate

When you see a red warning, it means that there will be heavy, non-stop rains within an hour, which will persist for the next two hours.

Tips for parents: 

  • Make sure your emergency lifeline kit is packed ready, in the event of an evacuation.
  • Charge your cellphones, as well as other devices and battery packs.
  • Give each family member printouts of each other’s contact details.
  • Check if each family member has proper identification, in case you get separated.
  • Make sure to be dressed warmly and ready to go in the event of an evacuation.
  • Be alert and check outside your home to see if your neighbors are being evacuated.

ORANGE WARNING: Be Alert

When you see an orange warning, it means that there will be intense rains within one hour, which will persist for the next two hours.

Tips for parents:

  • Keep tabs on local television, radio, and online media to know if the orange warning intensifies to a red warning.
  • Charge all communication devices, as well as power banks and battery packs in case of power outage.
  • If you live in a flood-prone area, make sure to clear precious items from bottom drawers, like gadgets, heirlooms, or even family photographs.
  • If you live in a one-storey home, make sure you have a neighbor who can give you shelter as needed.

YELLOW WARNING: Monitor

When you see a yellow warning, it means there will be strong rains within one hour, which will persist for the next two hours.
