to the radio. Don't panic out, and make sure that everyone in the family is prepared.
Identify or locate the nearest evacuation facility. Be always vigilant and be ready for
the officers' announcement if you need to evacuate. The evacuation center needs to

should be storing enough food and water for the entire household for at least three
days before a typhoon strikes (rescue usually arrives 72 hours after a disaster hit)

electrical wiring. Once you've finished checking, you can go back to your houses,
but don't let your children play on any electrical items. Check all the items you had
prepared in advance once the typhoon's worst has gone, and the wind and rain
have calmed. Check if the water is potable and if all the food is still edible. In the
case that your location was seriously impacted, you might need to ration these
items. Like I said earlier, after the typhoon don't go back to your house without the
