What to Do When a Typhoon Warning or Advisory is Announced
There are five rules of thumb to remember to take the appropriate action in the event of a Typhoon.
1. Prepare the Outside the House
Shut all the windows and shutters. Secure items that might fall or be blown away, and clean out all areas with poor drainage.
2. Prepare Inside the House
Check emergency supplies, and affix tape over glass to prevent shattering, which can lead to dangerous shards.
3. Pay Attention to Storm/Flood Information
Staying informed is the best way to ensure the safety and survival of your family. Listen to the latest weather warnings, alarms and evacuation information from the television and radio.
4. Evacuate at the Early Stages of a Typhoon Disaster
Do not delay in evacuating when an evacuation advisory is issued or you feel in immediate danger. Check the advised evacuation method in your area. Also be sure to check the location of an evacuation site in advance as they vary depending on local administrative offices.
5. Do Not Approach Dangerous Places
Do not approach places where the riverbed is high, or where a flood or landslide may occur.
Most Importantly, Stay Safe.
