MANILA, Philippines – The power transmission service provider and system operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) assured the public Saturday that it was prepared for the possible onslaught of Tropical Typhoon Juan (international codename: Megi).
In a statement, NGCP said it would activate its command centers on Sunday in preparation for the expected landfall of the typhoon in the Cagayan and Isabela area Monday afternoon.
This early, NGCP's operations and maintenance personnel in Luzon and the Visayas have been enjoined to take all necessary precautions to minimize the impact of the typhoon.
To coordinate contingency measures in all NGCP facilities on the path of the typhoon, the company said command centers at its head office, regional and district levels would be activated 24 hours before the expected landfall.
