Typhoon preparedness tips

Since another "ondoy-like" typhoon is coming, I decided to blog this simple reminders from the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC). This would be very helpful to all of us.

Before the typhoon:

1. Store an adequate supply of food and clean water. Prepare foods that need not be cooked.
2. Keep flashlights, candles and battery-powered radios within easy reach.
3. Examine your house and repair its unstable parts.
4. Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report.
5. Harvest crops that can be yielded already.
6. Secure domesticated animals in a safe place.
7. For fisher folks, place boats in a safe area.
8. Should you need to evacuate, bring clothes, a first aid kit, candles/flashlight, battery-powered radio, food, etc.
