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.
- Affected people
- 1–999: +5 · 1,000–9,999: +12 · 10,000–99,999: +20 · 100,000–999,999: +28 · 1 million+: +35
- 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
Strong winds and heavy rainfall associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone affected parts of Zamboanga City on 16 September 2026 and damaged houses. DSWD DROMIC Report #1 recorded 61 families or 218 people affected as of 21 September 2026 at 18:00 PHT.
All 61 families / 218 people were temporarily staying with relatives or friends outside evacuation centres. DSWD also recorded 61 partially damaged houses and ₱53,985 in assistance provided. The report did not publish a casualty count, so none is inferred here. This is a Zamboanga City incident record and is kept separate from the broader low-pressure-area effects reported elsewhere in the Zamboanga Peninsula.
WorldsAid verification
A WorldsAid editor reviewed this record against 2 attributed sources, cleaned feed formatting and checked the crisis, place and reporting date. 8 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.
