I know that this is something that we really cannot avoid but there are various ways to be safe:
1. Pray: This is the most effective way to be safe. Ask help from God and protection from any calamities shall be done.
2. Save Food: Advises from different government agencies are always on the news. Better yet, make sure that you have enough food stored in your house.
3. Stay in the house: As much as possible, be still and stay away from going out the house. This could prevent you from harm such as flying roofs caused by typhoon's winds, fallen trees and posts
4. Stay on the highest level of the house: If your house has a second floor, make sure that you vacate the ground area and have all electrical appliances transferred on the second floor of your house specially if you knew that your area is prone to flood. If you don't have second floor, make sure that you packed the most necessary stuffs such as food and clothings in preparation for evacuation in case the water level goes up.
5. Don't stay in the flooded area: We don't know what in the flooded water. Just to be sure and to be safe from any illness specially leptospirosis, veer away from staying in the water.
6. Shut down circuits: Once the area is flooded and Meralco has not shut down yet the electricity. Do the initiatives to shut down the main circuit of your house to avoid electric shock.
7. Ask for help: If you're already trapped somewhere. Don't panic and ask for help. For sure, there are good samaritans who are ready to lend a helping hand to people in need.
8. Be Calm: In order to accomplish everything in proper timing and orderly. Be sure to be calm at all times. Panicking won't do anything.
In these times of restless days, this is also the time for us to seek help from God. With God, nothing is impossible.
