In Cebu, the Philippines, a landslide triggered by a typhoon resulted in one death and five injuries

On September 2, a landslide accident occurred in a place in Cebu, the Philippines, causing serious casualties.

It is reported that this landslide was affected by the heavy precipitation brought by Typhoon "Capricorn". The tropical depression east of the Philippines intensified into Typhoon "Capricorn", the 11th typhoon of this year, on the evening of September 1. At 5:00 on the 2nd, its center was located about 230 kilometers east of Manila, the Philippines. The maximum wind force near the center was level 8 (20 meters/second), and the minimum pressure at the center was 995 hectopascals. Heavy rainfall led to loose soil in some areas of Cebu, thus triggering a landslide.

After the accident, the local rescue team took quick action and made every effort to carry out rescue work. Regrettably, one person died unfortunately due to being buried, and five others were injured. At present, the injured have been sent to nearby hospitals for treatment, and relevant departments are also conducting further monitoring and cleaning of the landslide area to prevent possible subsequent dangers.

The Philippine government attaches great importance to this incident and requires relevant departments to find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible and take effective measures to strengthen the monitoring and prevention of areas prone to geological disasters such as landslides. At the same time, the government also calls on the public to be vigilant and pay attention to their own safety during severe weather such as typhoons and avoid going to dangerous areas.

This landslide accident has brought a huge threat to the lives and property safety of local residents and once again reminds people to pay attention to the prevention and response to natural disasters. Subsequently, relevant departments will continue to pay attention to the situation in the affected areas and strive to help the affected people resume normal lives.
