Frequently asked questions

What should I put in my emergency go-bag for a typhoon?

Pack non-perishable food, potable water for at least three days, a first-aid kit, flashlight, extra batteries, important documents in a waterproof container, essential medicines, and fully charged power banks for your mobile phones.

When is the best time to evacuate during a typhoon?

The best time to evacuate is early, before heavy rains and strong winds begin or when local authorities issue an evacuation order. Waiting until conditions worsen makes travel dangerous and rescue efforts difficult.

Is it safe to use electrical appliances after the typhoon passes?

Do not use electrical appliances immediately if they got wet or if your home experienced flooding. Have a qualified electrician check your wiring and outlets first to prevent electric shocks and fire hazards.

How can I make my drinking water safe after a typhoon?

Boil your drinking water for a rolling boil of at least one minute to kill harmful bacteria. Alternatively, use approved water purification tablets or drink commercially bottled water if available.

What should I do if floodwaters start rising inside the house?

Move immediately to the upper floors or the roof if necessary. Turn off the main electrical switch before water reaches outlet levels, and call local emergency services for rescue assistance.

Where can I get reliable updates about the typhoon?

Rely only on official weather updates and announcements from PAGASA, NDRRMC, and your local government unit. Avoid sharing unverified information from social media to prevent panic.

Sa Tagalog: Maghanda at manatiling ligtas sa panahon ng bagyo sa pamamagitan ng pag-iimbak ng sapat na pagkain, tubig, at gamot. Sundin ang mga utos ng lokal na pamahalaan para sa maagang paglikas kung kinakailangan.
