The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRMMO) is worried on the possibility of storm surges in this resort island to be brought about by typhoon "Yolanda", which is expected to strike here on Friday.
During the PDRRMO meeting Wednesday afternoon, Governor Florencio Miraflores said that based on the typhoon track, coastal communities in the province including this resort island may experience storm surges to as high as 4.5 meter.
The PDRMMO is set to convene with the local government units of the different coastal communities including Boracay on Thursday morning to discuss the worst case scenario.
Also included in the meeting were representatives from the Kalibo International Airport (KIA), Caticlan Airport and the Caticlan Jetty Port.
"I hope tourists would not push through with their planned vacation this Friday where weather condition is expected to worsen," said Miraflores.
The PDRRMO hopes to encourage tourists via KIA to stay in Kalibo, while in Caticlan to stay at the jetty port once typhoon hits the province on Friday.
