According to the Region Nine Regional Democratic Council (RDC), 17 homes have been severely impacted, with some being completely destroyed.

Last year, the CDC deployed a similar response to Aishalton, after they were severely affected by a storm. The CDC and Regional Authorities assessed the damage and sent food hampers, tarpaulins, hammocks, and cleaning hampers, among others, to the affected residents.
