to keep u s safe.
Observe the following pictures below and discuss the question with
the adults around you.
What are you going to do to keep you safe during different weather
conditions?

SAFE T Y PRECAUTIONS B E FO R E , DURING AND
AFT E R THE TYPHOON
Before a Typhoon
Listen to weather forecast. Tune in to radio set and television or
read the newspaper.
Ch eck and fix your house for any damage or unstable parts so
that it will withstand strong winds.
Store adequate supply of ready-to-eat food, clean water and
clothing.
Prepare flashlights, batteries, candles, and kerosene lamps.
Have a first aid kit with enough medical supplies.
Know the location of evacuation centers in town.
If advised to evacuate, do so.
Secure domesticated animals in a safe place.
9
During a Typhoon
When a typhoon comes, it is essential that you stay calm and
you must know what to do.
If no advice to evacuate was announced, then better stay
indoors. Postpone any travel.
Always keep updated with the latest weather report.
Cover your glass windows and appliances with cloth to avoid
splinters when they break.
If you see signs of water rising, better turn off the main source
of electricity.
Wear clothing to avoid catching cold.
Follow the advice of the local authorities.
After a Typhoon
Monitor and update yourself with the progress of the typhoon
through radio, television or the internet.
Watch out for live wires or any electrical outlet that may be
submerged in water.
Repair all damages in the house.
Boil water before drinking to avoid water-borne diseases from
contaminated water.
Wear protective gear such as boots. Water-borne diseases such
as leptospirosis do not only spread out during typhoon but also
after the typhoon.
Clean up and dispose things that may be breeding places. Do
not let water accumulate in tires, cans, or pots to avoid creating
a favourable condition for mosquito breeding.

separated answer sheet.
Were you able to identify the safety precautions during
different weather conditions and tell the meaning of different
typhoon signal warning number? All you need to do is be wise
to prepare for emergencies in order for u s to feel safe.
Let Us Remember
Dear learners, is important that we get to learn the safety
precautions during different weather conditions and be familiar
with the typhoon signal warning.
Typhoons can destroy properties and lives. It is necessary
and wise to prepare for emergencies in order for u s to feel
secure and safe.
We need to know weather conditions to keep u s safe.
We enjoy outdoor activities only if we have fine weather.
Sports, field trips, kite flying and camping are seldom held
during rainy days. Weather helps you decide what games
you play.
Knowledge on the weather forecast for the day also helps
u s make necessary preparations.
Weather helps u s decide what clothes to wear. We feel
comfortable wearing light colored thin clothes on warm
weather and dark colored thick clothes and use thick
blankets on cold weather.
The Five Public Warning Signal number are the following;
o Signal No 1
14
o Signal No. 2
o Signal No. 3
o Signal No. 4
o Signal No. 5
Weather also influenced the kind food we eat and the
activities we do every day.
In case of stormy weather, we are advised to stay at home
and take necessary precautions. We store enough food,
prepare the flashlights, candles, water and other needs in
case there is a need for evacuation.

It is important to keep calm in order to prevent
casualties and be safe from danger. It is important to follow safety
precautions before, during and after the typhoon to keep u s safe

We cannot prevent typhoon but we can minimize the
damage it may cause.
