TYPHOON SAFETY TIPS!
1. Stay Informed
Keep yourself updated with the latest weather reports and typhoon warnings from reliable sources like PAGASA, local news channels, or official social media accounts. Understanding the typhoon’s path and strength will help you make timely and informed decisions.
2. Prepare an Emergency Kit
Assemble an emergency kit containing essential items such as bottled water, non-perishable food, a first-aid kit, medications, flashlights, batteries, important documents in a waterproof container, and hygiene supplies. Ensure you have enough supplies to last for at least three days.
3. Charge All Devices.
Fully charge your mobile phones, power banks, and any other essential electronic devices. In case of power outages, these devices will be your primary means of communication and information.
4. Secure Your Home.
Reinforce windows and doors, trim overhanging branches, and bring in outdoor furniture, plants, and other objects that could be blown away. If you live in a flood-prone area, elevate furniture and appliances to prevent water damage.
5. Locate Evacuation Centers
Identify the nearest evacuation centers and plan your route. Ensure everyone in your household knows the location and how to get there. If evacuation becomes necessary, move quickly and safely.
6. Know Emergency Contacts
Keep a list of emergency contact numbers, including local disaster response teams, hospitals, and family members. Make sure everyone in your household is familiar with these contacts and knows how to reach them during an emergency.
