Typhoon readiness checklist

By: Intern - 11 years ago

Prepare for your basic needs (have provisions that would be enough until after the onslaught of calamities)
Emergency kit (have adequate food and drinking water)
Never forget your First Aid Kit. Also prepare for flashlights with new batteries, fully charged cellphones for communication, radio should be on for updates, candles and matches.
Consult the needs of every member of the household especially the babies, elders and the sick.
Cancel all flights, trips or any gig you have to be safe.
Cut the nearest tree from your house to avoid from falling branches or the whole tree itself.
Keep valuables safe especially those important documents.
Transfer to elevated areas or sturdy buildings, especially those who are located in slum areas.
Never go anywhere near seashore or riverside.
Listen to the news on radio or television.
When the typhoon arrives better stay at home, stay calm and follow the authorities’ instructions.
