Storm Surge Warnings PAGASA IMPACT-BASED STORM SURGE WARNING SYSTEM NO ACTION REQUIRED Evacuation NOT necessary. Storm Surge is POSSIBLE BE AWARE Get READY. Stay away from the coast or beach. Storm Surge is EXPECTED BE PREPARED Conditions could be Life Threatening. Follow evacuation guidance from local authorities when required. Significant THREAT TO LIFE TAKE ACTION Catastrophic. MANDATORY EVACUATION is enforced.
