According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical, Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) an average of 20 cyclones will form within or enter the Philippine Area Of Responsibility (PAR), while around half of these will make a landfall.
In this case, we all should have knowledge and understanding to be prepared for this rainy season.
● Prepare a GO BAG
-Non perishable foods such as canned goods
-Clean water
-important documents
● Monitor news updates
Always watch and listen to the news update regarding the Typhoon's track. If its necessary to leave the house, it will be helpful to bring radio transistor to gather updates and warnings from the state weather bureau.
● Preparing your House
Check the status of the house. Check the roofs and make sure that there are no leaks. If the house is prone to flood, lift all appliances and things that may be wet due to flood. Check the outlets and make sure that before you leave the house, turn off the main switch.
● Keep proper coordination
Be well coordinated with the local government units. It is important to have a communication with the disaster management team and rescue team in order to reach you as soon as possible in case of a need to evacuate.
As the famous saying goes "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure", although we do not have the ability to tell the exact date of the typhoon and to avoid these natural calamities to happen, we can lessen the damage by being prepared and alert at all times.
In these trying times, while the pandemic is not yet over and the typhoon may ravage some parts of the country it is always better to seek guidance and help through prayers. As the song goes, "I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard". Let us not loose hope on the One above.
Keep safe. God bless!
