Promote the use of raised beds, contour farming, and proper field levelling to improve drainage and prevent waterlogging during prolonged rainfall events. Reinforce bunds and levees around rice fields and low-lying farms to reduce overflowing from nearby rivers and canals. Install windbreaks to protect sensitive crops from strong winds. Harvest mature and near-mature crops when heavy rains are expected to minimize losses and ensure better post-harvest quality. Protect harvested produce with dryers, covered drying areas, or elevated racks. Conduct regular inspections of storage facilities, ensuring all produce, seeds, and feeds are kept dry, elevated, and well-ventilated to prevent mold and spoilage. Implement schedule-based pest and disease scouting, particularly for fungal infections that commonly occur after continuous rains, and apply appropriate control measures immediately. Coordinate closely with the Municipal/City Agriculture Office for updates and emergency support related to agricultural impacts in your area. Regularly follow the official PAGASA accounts on social media or visit their website for the latest weather updates and advisories specific to your area.
