SCENARIO:

Years ago, during Typhoon Rolly, they remembered everything and it flashed
through their mind. They awoke in the middle of the night to the terrifying howls
of the wind and the violent swaying of the trees near their house. They tried to
ignore it at first, thinking it would pass quickly, but we were quickly proven wrong
when we got a hold of electricity and saw online that this weather was a threat.
When they saw the trees swaying wildly, they became even more terrified.
Throughout the walk, they could feel the house trembling and shaking.

What's more, there was a large tree in front of their house. And it was swaying
so violently during this event that you'd think it was going to fall directly on our
house. They are not prepared for that moment. They hurriedly threw my clothes
and other valuables into a secure location in case something bad happened.
Everything was terrifying that night, with heavy rain pouring down and the roofs
of their neighbors violently dancing due to the strong wind.

To secure the items in their home, they wrapped them in plastic and also
secured other valuable items in our lives. Every storm that they encountered
taught them that they needed to pick thirselves up in order to overcome their
battle. It would be difficult for them because their house is made of light materials
and they are vulnerable when a typhoon strikes. They also learned that everyone
must be prepared so everyone can face the mirror of fears.

about it. The statement above was not a scenario, however, the symposium and
other preparedness and drills are the things we must more strengthen so the

what is earthquake all about and how dangerous it is. They taught the things that
we must do to save ourselves from the shaking ground and falling debris and
other things. Furthermore, they also taught to us the DUCK, COVER AND HOLD
and other things that we must do. The informations that they shared to us were
helpful in case of disasters, it will help us to be alert and be educated about
different calamities. Oftentimes, I felt that the ground was shaking lightly and it
not affecting us. Thanks to God because I never experienced any catastrophic
impact of an earthquake since birth and I always prayinf that it won't happen to
us -- for the sake of our families and loved ones.
