Manila, Philippines—The residents of 2,500 villages were ordered to evacuate their homes as Severe Tropical Storm ‘Nika’ approached the northern Philippines, the government said Sunday, after three massive cyclones battered the country in less than a month.

The evacuation orders are important.” The military and police have also prepositioned at least 14 aircraft for rescue and transportation of food in areas that could be isolated.
On Thursday, Typhoon ‘Marce’ slammed into the country’s north coast. It left a 12-year-old girl dead and damaged houses and buildings.
