DOTC: Transport Agencies On Full Alert, Heighten Safety Preparations For Typhoon Yolanda

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With the coming arrival of Typhoon Yolanda – expected to pack winds at 200 kilometers per hour upon landfall on Friday – the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and all its sectoral and attached agencies are now on Level 3 or Full Alert Status, which entails a heightened implementation of safety and security measures for travelers especially in the Visayas region.

According to various weather forecasts, Typhoon Yolanda will make landfall over the Samar-Leyte area by noon on Friday, 8 November 2013, and is expected to traverse westward across Regions 6, 7, and 8 until it exits the PAR sometime Saturday evening to Sunday morning.

“Safety is always our priority. We want to have the least number of casualties possible, and we placed all transport agencies on Full Alert Status precisely to ensure that,” said DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya.

In recent times, applications for 3LCD projectors have expanded as advantages such as high brightness and contrast have been augmented with functions such as 3D and interactive capability. In the office, for example, projectors have become essential equipment for business presentations. In the home theater segment, they offer a compelling movie-viewing experience. In the education segment, projectors facilitate effective learning at school.
