1. Communicate where you will be. This includes

charging your cellphones and radios. Contact
someone outside the affected area to tell them
where you will be for the duration of the event.
Business owners should remind employees of their
roles in helping to get the business back up and
running, and how they will be notified when the
facility is open again.

2. Know the warning signs and alert signals for your

area. This means that you should be mindful of
the nature of the typhoon that is about to
come. Stay tuned to your local television or radio
station or community alert system for emergency
information.
3. Check your emergency survival kit. Make
sure your emergency survival kit is stocked with
essential items and kept in an easily accessible
location. Survival kits includes medicines, food
and water.

4. Collect emergency building

materials. Depending on the type of disaster, you
may want to have emergency materials on
hand, such as plywood, sandbags, and
waterproof tarps. These materials mentioned will
help you protect from debris, winds and even
water that the typhoon give out to the
environment.

5. Fuel up your vehicles and equipment. If you have

an emergency generator, make sure you have
fresh fuel on hand. Depending on your situation,
you may need a supply of extra fuel. If so, be
sure to store the spare fuel in an approved
container in a safe location. Never use a
 generator inside or even in a garage. Make sure
it is located a safe distance from windows, doors
and vents. Generators will give you temporary
electricity to help you survive during such trying
times against typhoons.

Since Philippines was not as prepared and as

advanced compared to other countries, during these
3 typhoons many people died and went missing.
