Frequently asked questions

What should I do if the power goes out?

Use flashlights, avoid candles, and keep refrigerator doors closed to preserve food. Wait for official updates before turning appliances back on.

How can I protect my family from storm‑related injuries?

Stay inside, keep away from windows, and move to a designated safe area. Keep emergency supplies within reach.

When is it safe to go outside after the typhoon?

Only after authorities declare it safe and after you have inspected your surroundings for hazards such as debris or flooding.

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.
