The seven residents of Pagan and Alamagan in the Northern Islands are safe and secure even as Tropical Storm Maliksi intensified in the last two days. <\/p>\n
Francisco L. Kaipat, community worker at the Northern Islands Mayor's Office, said yesterday that they communicated with the residents of both islands via radio frequency yesterday and last Monday. <\/p>\n
Of the seven residents, five stay on Pagan while the other two live on Alamagan, he said. <\/p>\n
Kaipat said they get in touch with these residents through their weekly scheduled radio conference every Monday and Thursday. <\/p>\n
During days when there is a weather disturbance, however, Kaipat disclosed that they contact the Northern Islands population more frequently to check on their safety. <\/p>\n
Kaipat noted, though, that the residents experience a hard time communicating via radio since the gadget uses batteries that are charged using solar panels. <\/p>\n
If there's no sun, they can't charge the battery, he added. <\/p>\n
Kaipat said they made contact with the Northern Islands residents on Monday to inform them about the latest weather bulletin from the Emergency Management Office. <\/p>\n
Based on their latest communication with these residents, they were already experiencing strong winds and high surf due to Tropical Storm Maliksi, he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
