Absolutely!
Here’s a clear and simple guide for staying safe before, during, and after a typhoon (aka
hurricane or tropical cyclone, depending on your region):
🟢 Before a Typhoon
1. Stay informed – Follow weather updates via TV, radio, or your phone.
2. Prepare a go-bag – Include water, canned food, flashlight, extra batteries, power bank, radio,
first aid, and important documents.
3. Secure your home – Reinforce windows, tie down loose items outside, check your roof.
4. Charge your devices – Phones, power banks, flashlights.
5. Evacuation plan – Know the nearest shelter and evacuation routes.
6. Store clean water – Fill up buckets, bottles, or bathtubs in case of water cuts.
🟡 During a Typhoon
1. Stay indoors – Keep away from windows and glass doors.
2. Turn off utilities if needed – Especially gas or electricity if flooding begins.
3. Stay in a safe room – Preferably on a higher floor if flooding is a risk.
4. Avoid using candles – Use flashlights to prevent fire hazards.
5. Do NOT go outside – Even if it looks calm—it might be the eye of the storm.
🔴 After a Typhoon
1. Wait for the official “all clear” – Don’t go out until authorities say it’s safe.
2. Avoid floodwaters – They may have sharp objects, sewage, or be electrified.
3. Check your surroundings – Look for damage, downed wires, or gas leaks.
4. Clean up safely – Wear gloves, boots, and masks if needed.
5. Help others if you can – Especially kids, elderly, or those with disabilities.
