Frequently asked questions

What should I do if the power goes out?

Use flashlights instead of candles, keep refrigerator doors closed, and conserve battery power for communication devices.

Is it safe to drink tap water after the typhoon?

Boil water for at least one minute or use bottled water until authorities declare the supply safe.

How can I help neighbors who may need assistance?

Check on them from a safe distance, share information, and offer help with basic needs if you can do so safely.

When is it too late to evacuate?

Once winds are strong or roads are flooding, moving becomes more dangerous than sheltering. Leave while conditions still allow it, and follow your LGU's evacuation orders rather than waiting to judge the weather yourself.

Is floodwater safe to walk through?

No. Even shallow moving water can knock you off your feet, and floodwater hides open drains, debris and live electrical hazards. It also carries contamination that causes leptospirosis.

What should I do about power and appliances?

Switch off the main breaker if flooding is likely, and unplug appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment while standing in water.
