The waters have risen now," Mabel Evardone, an official of the coastal town of Sulat in Eastern Samar, told local radio. </p><p>Typhoon Hagupit weakened to a category three storm, two levels below a super typhoon, but could still unleash huge destruction with torrential rain and potentially disastrous storm surges of up to 4.5 metres, the weather bureau PAGASA said.</p><h2>Typhoon expected to make five landfalls</h2><p>With winds of up to 175kmh near the centre and gusts of up to 210kmh, the storm picked up speed as it moved north-northwest at 16 kmh.</p><div class="inline-content right">

Let's evacuate to prevent any harm to your families."</p><p>Cecil Laguardia from aid agency World Vision said people were scared.</p><p>"The winds were howling. It's almost like there's a giant breathing machine outside and nobody can really sleep," she said.</p><p>"When you go out of the building you see that the streets are deserted. It's eerie. It's almost like a ghost town."</p><p>Hagupit is expected to make five landfalls as it crosses the Philippines before leaving the country by Wednesday.</p><p>Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific cancelled about 100 flights to central and southern Philippines.</p><p>Air and sea travel was suspended and six domestic airports were closed.</p><p>More than 700,000 residents of low-lying villages and landslide-prone areas fled to schools, civic centres, town halls, gyms and churches, the national disaster agency said.</p><p>At least 50 municipalities in the central Philippines and the southern part of the country's main Luzon island were at risk of storm surges, with the eye of the storm set to cross four provinces, the Science and Technology department said.</p><p>The typhoon was unlikely to hit the capital Manila, home to around 12 million people, the agency said.</p><div class="inline-content photo full">

[The typhoon] is still very recent in people's memories," she told the ABC.</p><p>"People are very worried but also things are a lot more organised than they were last year as well."</p><p>The United States offered to send transport aircraft and medical and relief workers. </p><p>Other foreign governments also sent word they were ready to help the disaster-prone south-east Asian nation.</p><p>Soldiers have been deployed to urban centres, particularly in Tacloban City, where widespread looting broke out after Haiyan.</p><p>"The soldiers will help our police counterparts in maintaining peace and order, and prevent looting incidents," armed forces spokesman Colonel Restituto Padilla Jr said.</p><p><strong>ABC/Reuters</strong></p><div class="inline-content gallery full">
