Marikina City implements a three-stage alarm level system for the Marikina River, with forced evacuation at 18 meters.
Marikina City has a three-stage alarm level system for the Marikina River, with corresponding actions to be taken per level. When water levels reach 15 meters, residents are advised to prepare; at 16 meters, they are advised to evacuate; and at 18 meters, a forced evacuation is implemented. The river's alarm levels are closely monitored during heavy rainfall, as flooding in Marikina City and other parts of Metro Manila has caused significant damage and displacement in the past.
