How to react
Listen to news about any incoming stormsJust like mentioned before, storms are very easy to anticipate. You might want to take advantage of that by listening to any radio stations or news on the television about the incoming storm.
Listen carefully to the details on where to hit, when to hit, and how will it hit. It is also important to be daily updated for you not to be left out since it has the possibility that news can change at the last minute. After hearing the news, immediately make |
preparations such as buying batteries for radios for you to listen to news even on the middle of a blackout. It is also best to prepare candles and safety matches since it is expected to be dark during blackouts. Also prepare a first-aid kit in case of future injuries.
Stay indoors no matter whatDuring storms, it is expected to be dangerous outside due to heavy rains so no matter what since they bring nothing but harm.
If your home is prone to getting destroyed by storms go to the nearest evacuation center and bring the things that you need. Even when you're indoors try to stay out from glass |
windows because there is a possibility that they would shatter. It is best that you unplug all your electrical appliances during storms and rely on battery powered devices such as cellphones and battery operated radios to listen on news about any updates on the storm.
Cleaning upAfter the storm it is proper to clean everything up to avoid any accidents or injuries.
If there are in need of medical attention call professionals immediately. If you have any experience in giving medical attention or happen to be a professional yourself then feel free to do so as long as you do it properly. |
You may also call your relatives to check if they really are alright and nothing has happened to them.
