The Department of National Defense advised local chief executives in the region to be on guard in the last three months of the year, saying the change in the country's weather pattern should not be taken for granted. "We should not be complacent about the change in the weather pattern," particularly referring to the weather bureau's prediction that the country would experience UNUSUAL heavy downpour in the next three months. "There is a need for us to plan and prepare for any eventuality. We need to plan quickly in the coming days, (due to) warnings of greater typhoons."
