How the score is calculated
The score starts at 8. It adds points from recorded affected, deaths, displaced and casualty counts, plus terms found in the story title, event type or status. For each count, only its highest matching band is used.

- Deaths
- 1–9: +8 · 10–99: +14 · 100–999: +22 · 1,000+: +30
- Displaced people
- 1–9,999: +6 · 10,000–99,999: +12 · 100,000+: +18
- Casualties
- 100 or more: +8
- Story wording
- +10 for terms such as catastrophe, famine, war, conflict, major earthquake, mass casualty or critical. Otherwise, +5 for active, ongoing, emergency, outbreak, cyclone or hurricane.
Score bands: Watch 0–24 · Moderate 25–49 · High 50–74 · Critical 75–100. Scores are capped at 100. Missing or unparseable figures add no points.

Situation
Flooding affected six barangays in Licab, Nueva Ecija, after continuous rainfall linked by DSWD to the southwest monsoon and enhanced by Tropical Storm Pilandok. DSWD DROMIC Report #1 recorded 714 families or 2,585 people affected as of 20 September 2026 at 18:00 PHT.
The affected barangays were Aquino, Linao, Poblacion Norte, Poblacion Sur, San Cristobal and San Juan. The report did not publish a casualty count, a displacement total or a damaged-house denominator, so none is inferred here. This is a municipality-level incident record and is kept separate from the broader Philippines national monsoon and tropical-cyclone aggregate.
WorldsAid verification
A WorldsAid editor reviewed this record against 1 attributed source, cleaned feed formatting and checked the crisis, place and reporting date. 7 human-impact figures were separated from the narrative and dated where the source allowed. Earlier observations remain in the evidence history instead of being silently overwritten.
